so I read a thread regarding removing the exhaust manifold alignment studs with vice grips and was considering doing this myself. I was just looking for confirmation if this is possible with vice grips. thx

If you mean the end studs on the cylinder head, yes you can. Depending on their condition and rust, you may need to use a penetrating oil or even apllied heat to get them out.

I would get a stud remover. Check out the link. I used torch and remover with PB Blaster. I heated up the stud, while still hot sprayed on Blaster.... careful not to ignite. Use a steady pressure, but don't force it or you will snap it. Use the torch on and off until loose.
