I got my truck started up on Sunday. Got it to idle just fine. I do have some white smoke coming from the passenger side from under the exhaust manifold shield I believe. I'm assuming a break or a bad gasket.
1. If it is broken, what's a good replacement? Where to buy?
2. I also think my valve cover gaskets are shot. See pics below. Lots of oil. So valve cover gaskets. Where to buy? Cork or rubber? Do I need a sealant?
3. I have a few wires running across the top of my engine. Should I wrap these in electrical tap or use a plastic cover? Most of the old covers are rotted off and the wire is touching the engine.
4. Anyone have the additional battery for a camper? Mine appears to be factory installed. Has anyone ever disconnected this system?
5. Anyone ever bought covers for the "I believe they are called pockets" a long the top bed rail? I'm tired of chasing wasps out of them.
Here is the smoke. Not real easy to see.
Here is a valve cover bolt.
Thanks
