First of all, a shout out to all the help I've received from this forum. Never before a truck guy, I bought a high mileage 2011 Denali to use as a tow vehicle. I think I've fixed like four things with help from you folks.
Anyway, I recently installed the exhaust manifold clamps on driver's rear, pass. front and rear. I was ready to start freaking out about lifter repair, then you led me to the manifold leak that was making the ticking sound.
That drivers rear is a B***h! But, ended up into the small batch bourbon earlier than expected cuz of this little trick. For a while I was unable to get the lower bolt started. I could only get two, by then bloody, fingers on it at one time. So I came up with this. A little packing foam around the bolt held it in place, protruding a little to help locate the hole, then allowed me to start it in.
Maybe been used before; I've only used tape etc, which makes it hard to start, etc.
Best of luck
