Just let it burn off, prob take 15 minutes.

My5point0Mustang · October 27th, 2005, 09:36 PM

so thats what the smoke is coming from?

redsMULLT1 · October 27th, 2005, 09:52 PM

More than likely. Would keep an eye on it while you let it burn off though. Don't want to take a chance like that.

mdvaldosta · October 27th, 2005, 09:57 PM

Grease on your hands from working on the headers is burning off, no biggie. Like mentioned, keep an eye on it just in case. Everytime I touch anything on or gets hot from the engine it smokes until the car's been running a few minutes.

My5point0Mustang · October 27th, 2005, 10:23 PM

and what happens when it runs for 45 mins and still smoking, then worry, and what am i susposed to be keeping my eye on, because both sides dont burn only one does and there both new

redsMULLT1 · October 27th, 2005, 10:41 PM

Did it smoke for 45 minutes???? WTF? Do you have a oil leak?

My5point0Mustang · October 28th, 2005, 12:22 AM

no man clam down... that was a what if...

Reds is a worry wart!!!

It shouldnt burn for that long. All you wanna watch for really is flareup. You dont want a good size plug of grease to flare up and catch some wires or something on fire. Ive never really even had a flare up that you couldnt blow out like a candle.

are you saying the smoke is coming from under the hood or is alot of smoke coming out your tail pipes.

My5point0Mustang · October 28th, 2005, 11:55 AM

im quite sure thats its come from where my headers connect to my h-pipe

Bill · October 28th, 2005, 12:39 PM

do you smell oil, exhaust fumes or do you smell like a burning rubber type smell? do you notice any type of exhaust leak?

My5point0Mustang · October 28th, 2005, 04:29 PM

i dont know im about to go run it now, i know there is an exhaust leak though

JoeA · November 11th, 2010, 06:02 PM

I have a 91 gt 5.0 and im changeing the headers,i was checking out americanmuslce.com and it says that long tube hearders fir a manual transmission but than when i checked out the motor mounts i seen a pait of mounts that raise the motor 3/4" higher and it says it would allow modifacation to the exhaust such as LONG TUBE HEADERS ...i wanna know if that true...i have an automatic by the way

FastStang91Lx · November 11th, 2010, 07:30 PM

First off, don't revive 5 year old threads, second, headers for a manual won't fit an auto, but the reverse usually works.

Ehh better then the people we have here starting 10 threads.
