Hi Robert,
My machine shop always seems to have Sube cylinder heads in the shop. They
grouse a lot about it, but they shrug and say, just do the heads every few
years and they seem to be OK!! Appears to be a design flaw in some engines,
but I don't know which ones and years.

the people that I know can all afford new cars, and all I buy is used. So,
I've been looking around online and noticed that a fair number of people
were spouting different mileage numbers for engine and car and I was
wondering what was going on. I see a couple out there with 6 cylinder
engines. Anyone have any opinions on those?
