4.6is

Hi quick question, does the 4.6is suffer with the same timing chain guide issue as the 4.4. I see a lot of posts talking about the 4.4 but as of yet none on the 4.6. If it is a problem is it worth doing them as preventative maintenance or wait until they start to fail to change them. Any other ...
