I've now just got my truck street legal and have been driving it for a day, its been fun, then the 2nd day it was on the road me and alex ( lowtideride ) went to paragon to run some blacks, all went well but on the way there and worse comming back we had the worst exhaust leak... its a constant thing...
to give ya some background i have a header and weber carb and the exhaust runs straight out the back and curves at the end (pointed out towards the shackles) I tried to seal off as many holes to the inside of the cab as possible but its still pretty bad. I've heard that if your exhaust is pointed the wrong way out the back you could get bad fumes. We did a seafoam test down the carb and the header at the flange only smoked a tiny tiny but and we tightened it up, still having the problem and now the seafoam loosened crap up and go something lodged somewhere and now its not idling right... but thats a different problem..
i also think it might be the freaking valve cover, i heard they leak pretty good. were doing the valve adjustment tomorrrow so it will be all nice and sealed up with some black rtv and will stay that way till i get a 2f valve cover.
any input or problems you might have had in the past ?? ?? ??
any sugestions would be great and i thank you in advance
