I thought about painting the tips but then didn’t.
Anyway I got he engine running up for its first extended time. When I filled the radiator tonight I was quite happy about no leaks anywhere until it started leaking. I realized that I missed putting the gasket in when the thermostat goes. So I drained the system and pulled that apart and got the gasket installed. All is good now. I also had changed out the side pan gasket. The one I had out on was garbage. The gasket itself soaked up oil and was like a sponge. Felpro to the rescue and no leaks.
The first video is without a tail pipe. I then loosely put the tail pipe on. The metal clinking noise you can hear is the exhaust pipe rattling
