Is there a way to run an ALH while still being able to access the exhaust manifold nuts to tighten them after engine reaches operating temperature or an alternative perhaps using a heat gun or blow torch on the studs to achieve a nut set that won't tend to slacken over time? I have gotten to my exhaust manifold and found the nuts were not very tight. I have made note of an exhaust leak and will be replacing the exhaust gaskets as well as the nuts. Wondering if anyone bothers to do this or a similar procedure other than a one time nuts torqued.
