well i finished my h c car, days later i notice that water comes out of exhaust tips, i know that the head gaskets arent leaking cause i check the oil constantly and no water or dexcool is in there, so i sthis normal what is it,by teh way im in sunny cali, and the car is garage kept if that matters

could be water leaking from the gasket directly in the exahaust, can't be anything other that the gasket

Gary,

Water (and carbon dioxide) is a by-product of a good combustion process, it is normal. If it is a lot, then I would worry. If it is just a few drops, that is normal. Also condesation happens from the cold exhaust pipes and the warm exhaust pulses, this is pushed out and appears at the tailpipes. If you are concerned, check the water level in the coolant. If it is low or the coolant level low light comes on, then be concerned.

gasket. How well did you clean the deck and what gasket set did you use? I spent a whole day dedicated to just cleaning the deck surface when I did my 98 because of all the graphite ****.

I have seen little amounts of water come out of my pipes (mainly the drivers side). Like what was said above, if its not a lot I wouldnt worry about it.

its not alot, its just little drops, and plus this looks like clean clear water, i would think it would look orangey if it were coolant, but its clear like tap water, i used gm mls gaskets, cleaned the deck real clean, i also spent a whole day with alot of carb cleaner, also i dont see it all the time only sometimes, i check the coolant level daily and it hasnt changed ever since all the air came out of the coolant system, same level right below the over fill hole

thats what i was hoping for, u drove my car when u tuned it, nothing weird realy, i check the heads almost daily to, to check for any leaks and its clean, no leaks, i took off my y pipe yesterday cause i thought i left a bolt in the header, lol dont ask, well nothing was in there, and i couldnt tell any water was dripping in there, ive drove my car daily for the past 3 weeks and the coolant is the same

Just keep an eye on the coolant but most likely it's just condensation. If coolant were leaking into the cylinders you'd probably have white smoke, smell the coolant burning, be blowing the cap of the radiator, etc. etc.

As long as your coolant level stays normal all is good. Once the car warms up this should not happen or you do have a prob.

to be honest, it didnt happen before the tune, i only noticed it after, so like 12secss said, maybe the tune gave me a good combustion process
