Some pictures showing the engine while the exhaust manifold gasket was being replaced. This was done at Memphis Equipment where the specialty is military trucks.

There is a small oil leak at the head gasket but nothing to worry about. A little oil leak goes a long way where messes are concerned.

Notice the rearmost exhaust port - that is where the leak was. The manifold gasket was burned through there.
