if any cylinder does run lean, it will not be due to supply issues from the rail.

no. 3 traditionally tends to be the one to melt on a yb as that cylinder gets marginally more airflow than the others due to the plenum, elbow design.

on some engines no. 4 fails, as it's furthest from the water pump so can get hotter than others.
