  View original topic: exhaust leak @ manifold

So as the title says I seem to have an exhaust leak near the front of my manifold.

A few notes; she is a diesel and I have a heat shield over the manifold so it's imposable to tell which cylinder it's coming from.

As I increase the RPMs, ill start to hear a deep cough and each time it coughs a puff of white smoke comes out from the head shield. Power seems to be ok but I haven't pushed the RPMs it passed this point.

I've been tweaking my timing and had to crank it quite a bit for some other issues; no more then normal but it has been turning over without running.
Could this have something to do with it?

I'll be pulling the heat shield off as soon as I can to see if I can spot the leak.

Anyone else had this or know whats going on?
