Hmmm. I think I'll keep my old #14 head that I swapped out for my current
used #17 head. If the #17 starts behaving like it's kaput, I'll go get

Wow... I need a couple grand right now. I'd probably jump at that
thing, and get my father in-law, who's a former Chrysler mechanic, to
go take a looksee at it for me. It's not pristine, but then it's

True story.
A lady I used to work with swerved to avoid a rabbit & had a head on
collision with a mini-van. She justified her actions by stating that She did
not want to hurt the "poor rabbit".
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, except for the "poor rabbit". She
hit the rabbit anyway! I wasn
I'd agree with Fmiser.
I spend over 50,000 miles a year on the road and I've seen more than a few
tire separations "in action". Every one I saw was a blowout, where there was
