RE: [DML] Smoking Manifolds

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you use any liquid wrench or any type of lubricating spray to assist in
removing the studs? That might be burning off. When I did mine I painted my
manifolds with a high temp paint. That lasted about 2 seconds as I watched
the paint burn away. If you painted them, that will produce smoke as well.

Hey all,

  i've been working on replacing the manifold gaskets on the car for the
last week now, seems like one big problem after another. first the passenger
side had a stripped stud, and a broken stud. got the stripped stud out with
a brand new pair of vise-grips, then the hole was stripped out after the
effort. tapped new threads and engineered a bracket to use the other holes
in the block. 

  So now the the new stainless steel gaskets are on and the manifold to
crossover pipe has a "paper?" gasket. Both sides now smoke, lots of smoke,
like they are burning something, it doesnt smell like exhaust or grease.
i wonder if i should have put some permatex on either of the gaskets? or are
the manifolds burning the greasy residue off of them?
