    ok, my engine runs, idles, and sounds great. But, i have no heat out of mt 2 left pipes. i started the motor a few minutes ago and there was a flame comming out one of the 2 headers that are staying cold. does this meen the motor is firing on that side? i have spark, pretty sure i have fuel, but no heat to the left two headers. the air comming out of them is room temperature. anyone else have this problem before?

    you should have no way for anything to come out of headers if they are tight. all exiting combustion should exit the muffler. check tourque on header bolts. if that doesn't fix it check the pipe for holes. Maybe time for exhaust gaskets? another thing maybe time for a valve shim adjustment.
