Leaking exhaust valve would stop that cylinder from firing so it's exhaust would be cold...overly hot exhaust is more likely to be a lean cylinder most probably from an air leak on the intake side

SOURCE: exhaust glows red

sounds like it's running too lean, could be **** in the carb starving it of fuel. remove air cleaner and spray a bunch of carb cleaner in and let it sit overnight, or take carb off and strip it and clean

Because the timing is off. If the timing is too advanced, or too retarded, it will make your exhaust pipe cherry red.

I keep adding engine oil on my 2006 BMW 530i, engine has no leaking. Any help?
Check exhaust smoke color when engine hot. If there is white smoke, there may be oil in the pipes. Means the valve seal is leaking oil into the cylinder. Another way to check is to look at the spark plug tips. If is full of soot like burnt oil then the oil is leaking into the cylinders.

If yours is E60 turbo, check the presence of residue oil in both the exhaust and intake turbine. If there is, the oil seals in the turbo housing is leaking oil. They do sell service kits for turbos.

Hello, I have a 2006 BMW 650i convertible and once in a while it throws white smog. specially if I press ******* the gas pedal.
V8 BMW engine 4.4L and 4.8L have a common problem in drying after burning the valve steam seals in cylinder head, witch cause internal oil leak from the valves to the top of the pistons then the oil burns throw the exhaust valves explain the smoke from the tail pipe.
the issue will continue and will get worse with time until you replace the valve steam seals, $1500-$2500 mostly in labor, a BMW mechanic most have a special tool to do the job with out removing the cylinder heads, it's time consuming.

Hi Dave,
The reason is that your issue is combustion related. Something is wrong. Look for intake leaks, valve settings, valve timing, ignition timing and advance, correct fuel to each cylinder.
I suspect that this issue would not necessarily cause an engine overheat, but resolve the issue as you are a fire hazard and you will eventually damage the exhaust system and engine parts.

On my 1979 kawasaki z400 the throttle side header pipe glows red if left to tickover can not find blockage in carb or air leak but the fuel tap will only work on the pri position is this my problem not...
No, it is more likely a bent exhaust valve or burned. The fuel flow position may indicate an additional issue with the carb, but the exhaust should not glow red like that- when it does it means there is unburned fuel and burning combustion gasses entering the pipe.

If the bike is hard to start, this can be why as well. Do a static compression test to see if the valves are leaking.

The exhaust pipe at the cylinder head on my 2009 DYNA glide glows bright red, is this a problem with exhaust not leaving the pipe fast enough? Also, I think I have an exhaust leak on the same pipe.
