I was crossing New Mexico in August in my 360. In the middle of nowhere (of
course) I suddenly got a slight noise increase, and lost 200-300 degrees on the
EGT of one cylinder.  No change in speed.  Diverted to Double Eagle in
Albuquerque.  They cleaned the injector for that cylinder - no change. Next we
pulled the lower cowl to get to the bottom plugs and whalla, the exhaust
manifold had a huge crack just below the flange allowing exhaust gases to
escape so the probe for the EGT wasn't getting as hot. They welded it back up
and I was on my way.

So the obvious (the injector) wasn't the problem at all.
