I have never worked on an 80 so I can not speak from direct experence.  
However it is theoretically possible to do it on a 4kq.  I say 
theoretically, because by the end of the project you might wish you had 
pulled the motor.  Unless you are really good I would think you would 
have to remove the intake manifold.  Before you go to all that I would 
recommend checking the exhaust tube that is used for checking the CO.  
They often rust and cause an exhaust leak.  Mine had this problem when I 
first got it.  You description does sound more like a crack however.

Good luck.
