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.

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.

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.

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

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