If anyone can provide some insight to my problem I'd appreciate it.
I recently installed a set of tri-y's (ceramic coated) on my 66. Now, after I start the engine and it runs for about 20 seconds smoke begins to come up from around the passenger-side header (i can't tell exactly where it's comming from becuase of the fan.) After I shut the engine off, the smoke still appears for about 8 seconds.
At first I thought it was the paper header gasket burning up, but I replaced the gaskets with aluminum Seal-4-good header gaskets and the problem is still there. I checked to make sure the passenger side header is not comming in contact with anything, and it isn't (although it comes pretty close to the starter motor and bell housing.)
i have re-tightened the header bolts, and still smoke. the car was in perfect running condition prior to installing the headers. Is it possible that the heat from the headers is causing grease and oil on the bottom of the engine to heat up to the point of smoking? (the engine is not that dirty...)
Thanks,
