I beleive in preventive repairs and maintaince, but to a point. Yes it has been proven that a certian percentage of these engines will bend a rod. But no one has proven what percentage or even what causes a rod to bend. So why fix a problem that may never be a problem?

I have an original "14" head on my 603, these are known to be prone to cracking if overheated. I am not going to change the head because it may crack someday. If it does crack at that point I will deal with it. Until then I will just drive it and forget about it.
