Past couple of days Dad and I have noticed water drops in our newly rebuilt 8BA from the exhaust crossover pipe. We don’t think it’s coolant but I can’t rule it out. We started it two days ago to blow out whatever condensation might be in it. This morning it was weeping again so to rule out a gusher I took the drivers side exhaust manifold off. The inside of each exhaust port was damp with some moisture but no drops or a trickle or anything like that. We started it again and no white smoke or anything. Is it normal to be getting that much condensation?
