Frank,

After a seat fell out at (indicated) 80mph - probably about 70, I ended up
replacing the entire right bank.  The particles generated floated through
the manifold to the other 2 cylinders on that side.  It was NOT a pretty
sight!

Consider yourself VERY lucky to have the opportunity to fix it before it
destroys itself.
