Oil pressure reading normal. On gauge that appear low is voltage around 2 lines under 14.
I do have a leaking head gasket but its never done that before
my manifold does have a leak.Do you really have a bad head gasket or did you mean the valve cover gasket?
Do you know if your exhaust manifold is cracked?
Your video looks very similar to a Jeep I bought that had a blown head gasket and badly cracked exhaust manifold.
What does the smoke smell like? Electrical smoke is very distinctive, as is coolant in the exhaust.
