Default One Glowing Header Tube???
Hey guys,
Here is the situation; I just built a brand new engine (sbc 355) for the Nova. Went to break it in and after about 5 minutes of running it at around 2500rpm to break in the cam i notice that the header tube on cylinder #5 is glowing red hot. None of the other cylinders are glowing. What could cause this on only one cylinder? Also i noticed some white residue inside the tube when i removed the header. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
