I had my Y pipe burst, but I drove it about 10 miles after the fact because I was broke down in a very inconvenient place. Hopefully didn't warp the head

Anyway I also have an exhaust manifold leak so was wondering if it would be easier to lift the engine to do both jobs? It was a real PITA putting my headers on before (probably didn't do it right seeing as how my manifold leak returned).

Seeing as how I need to do two jobs in hard to reach areas. Maybe I could lift the engine a bit? Or would the transmission aspect be too much of a PITA itself?
