In a previous post I stated I had a small head gasket leak. Well after a few heating and cooling cycles, the leak appears to be gone. Only issue I have is I'm still burning antifreeze. I can see after a couple of minutes after start up I see water coming out of the exhaust and a hint of white smoke. Also on the outside of the header (at the head where I replaced the burnt valve)) It looks to be exhaust burning :confused:. does anyone suspect I have a intake manifold leak? Or the head is leaking internally?. The engine starts sweet but seems to run rough at idle. Also I think I need to to tighten my rocker arms down on the head I did the burnt valve even though I torqued them to 19 ft. pounds because they sound like they are clicking. Please any info is appreciated...
