Bummer on SB#14...just torqued the head bolts to 40ftlb last Friday!
Well they were good for 35 years so I think I'll be ok for another ? years.
Not that it would make any difference now, I don't recall getting the 'recall' on SB#13. I was THE owner back in '78...of course there have been many o' beers since then...
