K. Daddy is right. I would have the cat checked out before doing anything. We"re kindof making alot of assumptions right now.
If you have a good shop in your area, I would have them diagnose it and give you an estimate for the repair. Even if you don"t have it fixed there, and they charge for the diagnosis, you will be money and time ahead.
Otherwise, you could be anywhere from intake gaskets to head gaskets to EGR problem to cat converter problem. Even doing it yourself, you"d spend a ton in parts if your not sure how far you have to go.
If it does lead into head gaskets, I"d do em both and have the heads checked and plained. At that point, yes you do have to pull the dog bones off the front and the manifolds have to come off. Not as bad as it looks though, once you have the dog bones off, with a come along and alittle inginuity you can rock the motor ahead and give yourself alot more room on the back side.
That said, I"m not saying that has to happen, just answering your question.
My swag would be that you have a lower intake gasket leaking both internally and externally. The antifreeze getting into the intake ruined the cat. The antifreeze leaking externally is running down the valley in the motor and making its way down by the starter. This is purely a guess.
More than likely it isn"t head gasket, or theres a good chance you"d see it in the oil.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
