mo gaskett, and yeah petty much any kinda new part is gonna let off some kinda smell from getting hot and things such as grease or whatever else has gotten on them from being handled, ceramic coated hdrs smell even worse smoking is also gonna happen for the same reason shit burning off now if it stays id check for leaks but if its a big enough leak to see smoke then youll probably hear the leak very clearly also [Big Grin]
