Exhaust leak or bad lifter etc , pics explain

I think this was the issue , TTI gaskets about 5 months old , maybe it was me putting them on , I don't know , I still need to do the passenger tomorrow , this is driver side only , I replaced with Remflex gaskets .

yes, this looks like your smoking gun.

Yup, definitely an exhaust leak!

Here's hoping the Remflex gaskets work out better! Much cheaper and less pain replacing exhaust gaskets than a camshaft and lifters!
