Lou that video was shot Fri. and was the reason for pulling heads, put them back on Sat. with new gaskets, still have some stuff to re-assemble before I can start the engine.
Im like a farmer with a stuck tractor, he don't eat till it's unstuck.
And to answer your question the motor never had...
UPDATE:
Torqed heads with new gaskets, set intake manifold with new gaskets, pressure tested to 20psi no hissing no leak down, so happy the block aint cracked, all valves are closed rockers loose if the even matters for this test.
Oh jeez your right about the cyl 4-6 would this also take on water? The manifolds are freshwater cooled alpha gen 1, and I replaced riser gaskets due to visibile corrosion/leakage at external joint.
Oh crap yea the 5.8 cobra was years ago, I now have a 5.7 chevy.
I cant help to think it has somethin to do with risers as thats all I messed with over winter, oh well Im learning going through the motions not necessarily needed uggh.
Yes it went to normal running temp.
Combustion chambers and piston tops all look uniform as did the spark plugs, the only thing that looks suspicious is see pics of intake runners 1 clean set on both banks, maybe from sucking steam in from vents at flame arrestor..
First run of season, block and manifolds were drained for winter, ran all last year without incident, inoriced the steam at home in driveway on hose but disregarded it for moisture burning off.
Took on lake and vents spitting out droplets of water after running awhile, engine temp normal powers...
