So I've been flushing my cooling system lately trying to make sure everything is clean. Today I hooked up the Prestone flush kit with the T-in to the heater hose. I stuck a couple pennies under the throttle to keep it around a constant 2k rpm's. Everything was going fine, until I noticed the exhaust manifold was RED hot. I mean glowing. All the runners, right after the block. I had it running for about 5-7 minutes before I shut it off.
What could cause this? The exhaust isn't clogged, not that I've thoroughly investigated it but it sounds fine and has plenty of pressure blasting out the tailpipe. It could be running lean I suppose, but again the engine runs perfectly fine. Any ideas?
