While you're in there...
Check the headers for cracks.
Might have to peel off the heat shields.

So I checked my manifolds and sure enough, the 1-4 was cracked at the Y. Didn't even have to peel of the heat shields as it looks to be cracked all the way around. Got a better condition set on the way. :thumbup:
