So I just finished my head gaskets yesterday, got the truck fired up and ran fine yesterday. I decided to take it to work today and had smoke coming out the hood once I got there. I have found that the oil is running down the passenger side back of the block and dripping on the exhaust. My first thought is that the valley pan gasket didn't seal properly. Anything else I should look for? I already checked the valve cover on that side and it is completely clean. I used right stuff gasket maker on the valley gasket, so I don't know what went wrong. I am hoping I can get both intakes off without having to pull the valve covers back off.

 

If you can't see exactly where it's leaking from, I would use a mirror and try to pinpoint the leak. I wouldn't want to take anything apart without knowing what needs to be fixed.

 

Yeah it was the valley pan gasket. I used the right stuff sealer but didn't put the inserts on the block that came with the head gasket kit. Guess I'll be calling Eric at Lucky8 tomorrow to get a new valley pan gasket and intake gasket. Chalk this one up to being in too big of a hurry. But a plus only only took me a couple hours to get down to the valley gasket vs like a day last time.
