Don't forget to replace the mani studs or they will start to pop off randomly down the road. I would replace them with stainless, do the job right the first time, and it will save you money and time down the road...

This is not true. I've replaced so many exhaust manifolds and o2 housings I can't even count them anymore and never once have I had a problem. Just reinstall the new stuff using the stock bolts/nuts/studs and you'll be set. If you have a lower mileage car you can even reuse the stock stainless steel gaskets without worry.

If your studs and other bolts are backing out you need to check your timing.
