header tube glowing red
195cc pro-filer econo ported heads, xr276hr cam and lifters, 1.6 rockers, tpis mini ram, ebl p4. What're the possibilities? I've done a valve adjustment, switched two injectors around and the same tube glows, changed spark plugs. I'm running out of options and considering its my only ride to work I REALLY don't want to tear it down again lol. Thank you

Re: header tube glowing red
Is that injector connector getting power and ground? Vacuum leak at only that cylinder? I would think that'd be difficult for a mini ram though...

Re: header tube glowing red
I thought the same thing. I really don't want to pull the head off but I'm running low on options. Also, forgot to mention I keep blowing header gaskets in the same spot right over the tube.
