Re: some kind of air leak?????
so what you are telling me is that it should not take a mechanic 3-4 hrs of labor to remove a manifold? if thats the case then i got some issues with my guy, who still has the car by the way. not good.
thanks

Re: some kind of air leak?????
looks like its an internal problem, cam and lifters? looks like its gonna sit for a while since i lack the proper knowledge and $ to fix this problem. I contacted the guy i got the car from to see if i could get some info on the what he put in the motor. all the guy found from the manifold was 2 gaskets, then on freebe time he checkec the valve timing and that was all good. any tips would be nice for now my baby has to sit in the garage.
