Dont believe what you read on the internet, the issue is still present including the 2013, the #8 cylinder runs hotter than the rest, it is due more to a cylinder head issue than the block issue, the picture below shows the primary reason, you can see the lack of water jacket on the #8 intake port (on the left).
The fix is a really safe tune or the MMR head cooling mod which helps promote coolant circulation around the head/cylinder. We have already received 2 2013 engines with bad #8's
Let us know if you have any other questions!
MMR
so you guys popped (2) 2013 engines already??? OR (2) 2013 with a manufacturer flaw on the #8? So the heat treated coating and diff rings were still not enough to prevent the pop???? More info please
I wash my 1800 hp car with dish soap you should too
Blower cars don't hurt #8 and they heat the motor far more than an NA application.
