i started removing the head on my 87 300e which had oil in the water.

the plugs all looked fine. and the cylinders compression was starting from
the distributor 165/165/165/190/170/165


I broke a few exhaust studs and a few of them came out and a few had the bolt come out.... any suggestions on removing the bottom of the exhaust headder from the pipes... also any suggestions on the studs.. none are broken off inside the head all have atleast an inch remaining... any ideas on removal?


also any suggestions on the intake removal?

I ran some gunk engine cleaner through the oil and then changed the oil before i started and the head is beauitful...
