Check to see if exhaust manifold gasket has blown out someplace,
Run through the valves,
or live with it.

spray some pb oil arround the exhaust ports just after you start it up, if it blows out or bubbles you may have an exhaust leak .

If the manifold gets hot it may smoke away before you can tell anything.

lol, he wont need to replace his valves if they are ticking.
The manifold 99% more than likely isnt leaking, the gasket between it and the head is probably busted at some spot.
