my header at #1 and #8 cylinder are getting cherry red at high idle (1500 rpm) but when you idle it down to 900 to 1000 rpm it goes away. its not the timing so what else could it be and how do i fix it, also is it true that after a engine build with h/c/i you have to get a chip made.

 

your running lean in those 2 cylinders, i would suspect lower intake gasket problems.

 

well i hope not i just put on a new h/c/i and what would be wrong with the gaskets to make them do that and also can anyone tell me if i will have to have a chip made for the car 93 model to get it right.

 

just get it dyno tuned. as far as the gasket, maybe not tight enough, maybe too tight. maybe too much sealant(RTV), who knows. can't tell ya without lookin.

 

red headers does not mean lean... its actually rich. It means the fuel is actually burning in the exhaust instead of the cylinders

 

or it running lean, which increases combusition chamber temperatue, which makes headers glow

 

nope

wrong wrong... as soon as the exhaust valve opens and the burnt mixture begins to be pushed out, the exhaust charge will cool with the drop in pressure.

ask on a forum that knows whats up... like S B F T E C H.com

 

you just refuse to be proven wrong, dont you. you can never accept when you are wrong. give me 20 minutes, i'm gonna collect the URL's of about 20 car forums with glowing red headers and a LEAN A/F
