Ok the only to rpoblems left would be the oil pressure and some smoke through my tail pipes. i know a running motor that was having good oil pressure could not just lose the pressure like that. the smoke issue i think is that the previous heads i installed on the car were aluminum heads and they were blown everywhere and thus i had water or coolant all over the place even leaking through the head studs. i'm thinking i have a lot of leftover coolant that ran down the headers and deposited itself in the X pipe and mufflers. i know that no coolant will be able to withstand the temps on the headers but the rest of the exahust is takes much longer to heat up, thus making the evaporation process a longer one. or i could just have a leak from the intake to the heads or a problem with the head gaskets. although the heads aligned perfectly, I also used the head guides so I'm at a loss here. the motor runs and sounds great.Maybe i'll just take the x pipe off and watch if smoke comes out of the longtubes. if it does then, ihave another problem, if it doesn't then i'll just wait for coolant to evaporate. Sorry for hte long thread.........thansk in advance guys...and girls...</blockquote>
