During the change of my front O2 sensor we had to remove the exhaust manifold.
The video is the result of that. Couldn't resist.
Talk about putting out the heat,,, I was waiting for some singed eye brows.

See, now you should just cut holes in your hood and just let it vent naturally. I'm sure it won't be too loud. My brother did this to an old truck he had. That was friggin loud. We took video of him starting it up for the first time and scaring the crap out of my dad.

I think it was excess fuel venting from the combustion chamber after letting off the gas.

Did you just wake up swoope? What blow by?
No I'm not going to take that pain in the ars manifold off again for you
The view was looking at the front and center ports of a 4 port AT.
I was looking for the marshmallows.

ok,

i watched it several times big screen.. before you see the blue exhaust burn off you can see a bright orange / yellow coming from the upper corners. it is likely normal, who the f knows. as this is the first shots of this i have seen..

it only happened in the stab the throttle mode.

pm sent.

I noticed that too. I was kinda thinking it was a incomplete burn cycle for some reason. Low RPM and a lot of fuel.
Not enough ignition at that point. Weak spark.
