    4.3 merc water in #5 cylinder

    Things i have done so far. Cleaned/filled exhaust manifold with acetone did not detect a leak. Also when i installed riser gaskets i never used a sealant like i should have. I have checked over heads with small mirror and the exhaust port and did not see any cracks or anything.
