Cylinder 6 Failed

Cyl 5 and 6 usually endure the most torture in an ISX in general...

== Cyl 6 has the most mechanical lag. The cylinder head valve operation, mechanically is the furthest away from the piston operation. This is also why other brands of engines re-designs have gone to a rear valve train, which does indeed help with this.

== Cyl 6 suffers the most heat buildup under high loads.

== Cyl 6 has been known to have cavitation in the 1400-1450 rpm range due to intake design, causing a higher amount of in-rush air due to angle of the intake manifold .. although the intake manifold has baffles to help balance it out. - Some people use after-garbage intake manifolds without proper baffles in them, which is a bad thing because of just this.
