Okay, a while back I had the #2 exhaust rocker back off while breaking in the engine.

I fixed that, and rebuilt the carbs.

Tonight I reset the valve gap and, ran it for the first time. It runs, but I heard a noise I did not like. There is a leak somewhere on the 1/2 head bank. Watch this video I made. it is me cranking the engine on my test stand. No fuel or spark, only cranking. The spark plugs are in to force compression.

You can hear a "fffffffft, fffffffft, ffffffffft" sound, that I don't think is supposed to be there.

An EX leak would have to be pretty large to be able to hear while craning. Did a ex gasket fall out by chance.

Can you hear the leak with the engine running?
