Remove exhaust manifold

Quick job on the engine this evening; remove the exhaust manifold & the heat shield behind the lift eye:

The 3x studs had nuts pinched onto them rather than locking, so undoing them took out the studs too:

Outlets covered to keep clean & gasket saved. The heat shield comes off to expose the mounting holes in the head for the water rail

Hindsight - Masking tape leaves a residue if left in place for more than a day or so & the residue is a real s*d to get off - the glue dissolves in white spirit, but the tape is waterproof meaning its hard to get to the glue!
