.. so I have a new issue lol, I was putting the headers on and when I tightened one of the front header nuts some kind of vapor jetted out of the side of the jug.. any ideas what it could be or why? I hadn't even tightened it all the way, but I did have a bug crawl up in the stud hole when I had them out and I had to dig it out before trying to put them in

Did it have WD-40 or anything on it? I see that stuff kick out vapors all the time when a bolt breaks free or compresses a puddle behind a bolt or something. It could have just crushed some carbon deposits as well, making charcoal dust.

it may have had wd 40 still on it, I'm not sure if it had some in it, but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that's seen it, I was starting to freak out that I screwed it up
