This is the second time both manifold nuts are missing. The first time I thought I't came that way from the factory. I replaced gaskets and installed new nuts as tight as I could. They are missing again. They are almost impossible to get to I'm thinking about loosening the motor so I can get my hands under to install and tighten properly.Any Ideas ? Thanks

You might try some self locking nuts.

Go to a specalist nut & bolt shop.
Get some ALL METAL self locking nuts, not nylocks as the nylon will melt.
Do not over tighten mqnifold nuts as the manifold gets very hot and needs to be able to expand.
