Hi everybody,
please watch this and tell me what you think

Just got RH exhaust manifold gaskets replaced (both). I also had a faint ticking noise coming from the RH side which was atributed to the head gaskets. Mechanic said I should be thinking about replacing head gaskets in the near future (he gave me a month or so). 3 days later I get this puffing sound. It's very loud !
What do you think ?
a) exhaust manifold gasket wasn't the problem in the first place, manifold was cracked from the beginning.
b) exhaust manifold gasket were bad, replacing them restored pressure and made old head gaskets blow ?
c) combination of both
I'm not getting coolant or oil leaks, nor steam.
Will drop it back to my mechanic first thing in the morning, but I'd like to get there with a 2nd or 3rd opinion under my sleeve.
Thanks in advance,
N.
