one point of failure is the aluminum cross over pipe bolted to the bottom of the intake manifold.. THh manifold is plastic and will distort with time. The pipe is sealed with an o-ring and the groove fails and the ring blows out. You have to pull the manifold to fix it........ but you might see it if you look close. I will post a link.
