strange smell coming from manifolds?
everytime I run my car for a long distance or a couple good races I get this odd "hot iron" smell coming from under the hood.I know it's not burning oil or burning metal due to friction but it smells like if you left a empty pan on a stove for too long,you know what I mean?It only seems to come from the driver side of the engine compartment.any idea's guys?
if it helps I haven't got my headers on yet still the log manifolds.
