Careful of the # 14 head. Look for a # 17. I keep hearing these things. I've read this thread (awhile ago) Have theory: 603 #14 head fractures. part 1.

It's a good one.

But are there any statistics to support these claims that the #14 head is "junk?" Failure rate for those produced, miles when fail, anything? I'm not saying they don't crack, I just want to know how many really do crack. It's like Pit Bulls: they attack a kid, the whole nation hears about it, but a Golden Retreiver mauls a kid and that'll never make the news. I wonder if that makes sense... Statistically, Pit Bulls are the 7th (or thereabout) most "people friendly" dog breed.

Every car I've been looking at to buy has been a 14, unless it's been replaced. I don't to scared off of a potential good buy becuase people are scared of Pit Bulls.

Thanks all,

B
