Doing head gasket + longtubes
In about 1.5 months I will embark on replacing my head gasket(s), longtube install, full tuneup and 1.6rr's. My question is...since I will be removing the heads anyway, would it be easter to remove the ypipe and keep the manifolds attached to the head as I remove them. Basically remove each head w/ the manifold still attached. Or is this not possible?

PULL IT ALL apart seperately,you will have a bunch LESS headaches!
what is the reason for new headgaskets?
will you be installing NEW valve springs as well?
with the heads off it will be the most opportune time to freshen those heads up!

Gotcha, they aren't too bad, but as pointed out above, you will want to blast them with a rust penetrant and do so several times over. After that, it will be a combination of getting at them from both the top and bottom of the car.
