Ok, what happened and what I did. My gasket that goes between exhaust manifold and muffler tube broke up, so I decided to remove it and put a new one, after some hard work (because of thing space) I put the new gasket, and test it, everything was working fine, until some minutes later (with engine working) a smell of burning reach me. I opened the hood and the smell was there, I think it comes from the new gasket, what can be?? |

the gasket probably burned out again. You might have accidentally warped the flange on the exhaust manifold when you replaced the gasket. |

try putting some high temperature sealer on it, and make sure both of the surfaces are clean and meet up good.. |

I donno, the exhaust manifold flange is about ten times the thickness as the header pipe flange, so I doubt that's warped. It is normal for a new gasket to stink a little bit when used for the first time. If it is a strong odor then maybe youre running lean and the manifold is getting too hot. Take your spark plugs out and look at them (read the color), or take a picture and post it here, and check your exhaust joint for leaks with the car cold (feel with your hand for air chuffing through) and be careful. |

Thanks steponmebbbboom!!!, I checked it cold, and clear alll the surrounding of the gasket, also check my spark plugs (cables) and I need to retire them, I will buy some new set tomorrow, but the smell has stoped, also odor was strong ´cause I used two gaskets instead of one, but I have used the car form one hour after cleaning everithing from exhaust manifold and muffler tube. I found very little pices of charcoal, so that tells me that I really need to clean my engine. But the important thing is that burning smell has gone, this was the firts time I did this operation, also notice that my choke has stop working. |
