THE ENG LOST POWER JUST AFTER A WATER TAKEOFF. THE ACFT LANDED STRAIGHT AHEAD IN MUSKEG & TUNDRA COLLAPSING THE FLOATS. ENG TEARDOWN REVEALED A METALLIC 'NUGGET' IN THE LEFT INTAKE MANIFOLD BETWEEN THE #4 & #6 PORTS. NUMEROUS MARKS WERE FOUND ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH INTAKE MANIFOLDS. THERE WAS MINOR DENTING, SCRATCHING & PEENING ON THE INTERIOR OF THE 90 DEG ELBOWS FROM BOTH ENDS OF THE CROSSOVER TUBE, INTAKE VALVE PORTS, SEATS & VALVE FACES OF CYLS 4,5 & 6. THE NUGGET WAS COMPOSED OF THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE AIRBOX ASS'Y, CESSNA P/N 1250705, WHICH CONTAINED TWO HOLES APRX 2-1/2 SQUARE INCHES EACH IN THE AIRBOX WALL. THE HOLES WERE CAUSED BY FATIGUE CRACKS. THE SOURCE OF LOADING CAUSING THE FATIGUE CRACKPROPAGATION WAS DUE TO MEMBRANE &/OR BENDING LOADS IN THE AIRBOX WALL CAUSED BY OUT-OF-PLANE DEFORMATION. THESE DEFORMATION WERE MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY EXCITING A NATURAL MODE OF VIBRATION IN THE WALL. THREE DUCT FAILURES WERE REPORTED TO THE FAA IN 1983, TWO OF WHICH WERE IN C-210 ACFT.
