Was that just the downpipe dumped or no muffler with pipe all the way out?

So I am pretty sure my victory was short lived.
I seen some steam or smoke comming from the passenger side of the motor and I checked and it looks like I pushed coolant of oil out of the back of the head.

Overbooost? Detonation?
Leakdown test and see what bubbles or whistles?
Hopefully it's just a gasket issue. Good luck.

Its not the head gaskets. its coming from the valve cover and dip stick tube.
guessing crank case pressure. so I got a filter for the valve cover.
I have the 7lb spring in it now and i have not even got into boost that much yet. it needs tuning.

Ya, You can't leave the tb to valve cover vent hooked up! You have to cap the tb and just vent the valve cover to atmosphere. Get it tuned before you blow it up!!!
