I have replaced the head gasket. I am having trouble getting the 2 exhaust manifolds to line up and re-attach. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The head and manifolds come out of the car as a unit. They should have been attached before installing the head. If the exhaust manifolds are located together you will have better luck, dont try and attach them one at a time. Also install them without the sensors.
