Hey all -

Finally finished getting everything back together today after a complete rebuild of the block and head. Couldn't get it started at first but realized the timing was off and then it fired right up.

After running for a few minutes, around the time it starts to warm up, I get smoke coming off the exhaust manifold. Seems like its only coming out from under the manifold shield, and it seems to be drifting up rather than blowing out like you'd expect from a leak. It was getting late and I didn't want to keep running it without the exhaust on (only has the manifold and y-pipe).

Can anyone tell me if it is common/normal for it to smoke a bit after a rebuild? It didn't look like there was smoke coming out of the end of the exhaust... only from under heat shield on the manifold. I'm wondering if it could be the new gaskets? Any thoughts?
