2000 Triton V10 intake opening

Hi, I just bought a RV and found an opening at the intake manifold near cylinder 5. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Normal configuration for these modular motors. Many people have been shocked by this discovery.

Wow. That's a relief. Thank you. I have a pending P0306 code and I got a little worried.

Yep, no worries on this port. The heads are the same casting on both sides. If this head were a driver's side head, this "port", plus a bit of machining, would be a coolant passage.

Extra freaky to me because it has a gasket! . . . and a thing bolted to it "wrong" while it runs just fine.

I bet people will be asking about this until the end of time. This was my first tech question after I joined!

Now 2,641 days, 10,599 posts, and many hard pulls later and it's still fine.

. . . and I've seen the same question come along probably once or twice per year since then.
