RE: blown header gasket
ORIGINAL: phatphil
Mod, are you saying it might be a head gasket that made the header gasket spring a leak? It took me sometime to locate the leak in the header gasket, I kept hearing a tapping sound when I started the car in the morning, and it sounded like valve lash noise. I jacked the car up and crawled underneath with a automotive stethascope, it sounded like the tranny but it was the header leak reverberating off the firewall. Funny thing, as the car warms up it seems the heat makes the header leak close up and is not as noticeable. Noticeable brown stain on the head, where the header bolts up to the head.
