Concensus varies as to what dies first from additional powah. Depends on the "wear" areas and what starts the vibratory death march. You get them metal molocules moving around too much and they begin to act like putty after awhile, stress em too much and snapolla. I've seen shattered inner drivers and exploded pistons, while others can tell of teeth stripped off of tranny gears, or the primary gear chain in pieces. Then there's the head gasket.
FMIC efforts, depending on the pipe routing, design and so forth, on a difficulty scale from 1 to 10 is anywhere from 6 to 8. IMO. By contrast, replacing the steering rack is a 9, also according to me. Why a nine is because you're under the car where it's dark and dirty, while an FMIC effort is mostly done while standing or sitting in light. Standing also means you can look your assistant friend in the eye while needling instead of shouting through the engine and risking a misunderstanding of your jokey set-ups, irony or sarcasm.
