How many have you seen come through? Seems like (from the boards) failure rate is around 1-2%, does that seem accurate?
Is there a METAL intake manifold anywhere, yet?

Cylinder three floating coil here. It would rise up about a quarter inch every so often and I would just push it back down. Nothing noticeable otherwise until checking plugs the other day.
In that same cylinder three I had a good amount of oil buildup on the cylinder three plug after removing the coil. No sign of it being loose or stripped some I'm kinda unsure as to why the hell there is oil buildup otherwise if anyone else knows?
I changed all of them and torqued down to 18 ft lbs. Everything is clean and running strong and has been since day one otherwise. Only have 11k on the motor. Its just bothering me about that damn coil. Though.
The manifolds being replaced upgraded units? What is the part number for the new manifold? Thanks Brandon
Intake manifolds and noisy water pump are the 2 most common things. The intake manifold is by FAR the biggest issue.
