didnt you just change your header? seems pretty obvious....
you probably didnt change the gasket, so that might be leaking. or it could be like mine after my motor swap and it just took a little while for the seal to form, so it leaked for a bit. Wipe away the soot, drive it for a while, then look and see where its coming from.

Yes I replaced the gasket(and scraped and cleaned away the old). It seems to be coming from no1 and no4 cyl exhaust ports, maybe. The bolts are torqued to 128ft/lbs.
lol what? you reckon you know where its coming from but dont check to make sure? the exhasut shop i went to used some gooey blue stuff for sealing

I did it myself. And no, I don't know where it is coming from. I have an idea, but since the bolts are torqued to spec I wouldn't think its a seal problem on the header.
bolts could be tight enough but there could be leakage without the correct gasket/sealant. its like torqueing up a square to a circle.
