Dell, why not buy a quality cigar and then find a cigar smoker and tell him that the cigar is his as long as he blows the smoke into your engine bay. I am sure you will have a line of people willing to do that for you. Just saying.......

And not to disparage the master, but an internal valve leak (as was shown in the video) would not show up blowing smoke around possible leaking/holes in pipes, etc. components. If a valve dies, it's usually failing when the closed air tight system self checks. Yes?
