Cobras are not "zero maintenance" vehicles....neither are the engines. These are all high performance engines, sometimes race engines, using all aftermarket components. Sometimes failures happen.

Some items are just a function of the engine....i.e. FE's have more troubles with leaks because of the rear main seal and the fact that the intake and cylinder head share the valve cover mating surface.

So to answer your question......some issues can be typical, some just happen because of the luck of the draw.
