Hi All
I am about to replace my Exhaust manifolds and risers on my twin 5.7's. Plan on starting the work this weekend: Remove the cover, clean things up, get electric there, and develop a plan.
Just took delivery of the parts and it looks like the only thing I forgot to order were the Drain Plug fittings. Everything else I think I got.
(I ordered two of these)

I have easy access into the EC and the engine is accessible.
My only real concerns are:
I cannot seem to find the sequence.
Has anyone performed this tasks on their 5.7 and Happen to know that info? I would appreciate the help if you could forward it over.
Also, any other words of advice would be appreciated, This is my first time taking on a tasks like this but I have worked on engines before.
Much thanks

My only real concerns are:
- Breaking a bolt and having to drill it out (Engines are yr-2000 and risers/manifolds were changed once already
- Sequence and Torque
I cannot seem to find the sequence.
