    Smoke...?

    So I dropped the exhaust when I was replacing motor and tranny mounts and I think I screwed something up.

    I drove it for no more than 5 min and smoke came billowing up from the engine. I think I might not have tightened the exhaust enough...

    anyone else have any thoughts on this?

    if it is exhaust, what do I torque the bolts to that go from shorty headers to exhaust?

    Thanks guys...

    Same thing happened to me, but I was replacing my CSB. I just drove it around for a while and the smoke eventually cleared. Don't know exactly why, but my guess is the new gaskets I put in were just sealing up? Just make sure it's tight, I guess.

      if your hands were all oily/greasy when you took the manifolds off it could just be some oil burnin off. or the new gaskets. id give it a while to see if it stops.
