take it apart first ..I strongly suggest.
that way you will know exactly what's what when you go to get parts.

if there is a lot of corrosion...
2 things come to mind...
start spraying exhuast nuts/ studs with penetrating oil right away ..
and frequently.
they secure the upper taps ( they'll work just fine with only one upper
tab btw )
and get badly, badly rusted in my experience.

possible rusted-through pushrod tube if you live in that kind of
environment.

always LOOKS and examine and diagnose first..
then get after parts. Way mo' betta.
