I know there have been numerous reports of cracks in the S'C'Headers but mine have been PrettyGood

to me SoFar ~ I suspect that it may have something to do with WorkingEnvironment in that here in the D'S'W'

our Weather doesn't present very many occasions for our LowSlung & Vulnerable Headers to be Doused with H2O

or Snow or Slush & Also in the 5.5Y'rs that I have had S'C'Headers I haven't, Unfortunately, had many occasions

to Dunk Them in a ColdMountainStream ~ In addition, the Air that our Eng's breath here in the D'S'W' is usually

QuiteDry & We Definitely Don't have the "SaltAir" issue that CoastalFolks have, so possibly less opportunity for

InternalCorrosions to happen ~

        Or Maybe I JustGotLucky ~ But that is NotTheNorm for Me ~
