Flames

I took the extractors off my car today to have a crack repaired, which is all fixed now, thankgoodness! ... anyway for ****s and giggles i dicided to start the engine with no exhaust (it sounded like it was underwater for those curious )

Anyway ... i had some nice big flames shoot out of cyl 2 ... dont know if thats a good thing! have i dropped an exhaust valve perhaps?

You guys ever seen a drag boat with only headers no exhaust or the V8 Supercars.
Flames dont mean busted anything I did the same thing on a 350 chev HQ monaro
once for fun and when we revved it was like waking up a dragon

My ol' 13B Cosmo could spit a flame over 5m long. I never saw it but was something to see at Calder night sprints
I realy should have had it tuned properly but who needed another 50kw, drivability or something resembling fuel economy. It was a fun car!!!
