We had a guy come into work with a similar problem, he had to end up buying a new intake because even after he tapped it out and everything it just happened again under load.

ford isnt the only one that uses plastic in their engines.

Fact. My '01 Audi TT Roadster had a plastic propeller built in the fuel system.

Which shattered when I drove, which left bits all throughout my motor. Needless to say, I sold the car as quick as possible (was back in 2008).
