Hello Stan and List,

    Thanks for the Kudos', I just been around so long, I guess something had
to rub off. What was it dear old Dad said about learning something new
everyday? :-)
    One thing I might add, These tab's come in several different temperature
ratings. They also have many different industrial applications. You have
most likely seen them, and just didn't realize it. Ask your Perfect Circle
sales rep for the part number for different temps, and use's. I saw one on a
20 amp breaker in a shop breaker box once. Now that was scary, even though
it wasn't melted out! Made me wonder what the electrician was worried about.
    At one time I worked at a shop that had us mark everything that came out
of the machine shop with temp markers ( a crayon, that the mark melts at
different temperatures).
    About the Heat Tab's you have always seen melted out. I don't doughty
some machinist might use the lowest temp tab's so they are always melted.
Also where they are attached to the head makes a lot of deference. Glue it
on right by the exhaust port, instant warranty void! That sure would prevent
a lot of future warranty problems, for some folks.
    I always use 250' tab's, mount them at the intake port on the head, and
beside the oil cooler mount on the case, fair is fair. Like most people
doing engine work, I do some of the other standard protection steps. I add a
couple of hidden numbers stamped in the case. I do another thing or two to
show (me) if the engine is the one I worked on or has been apart. Its a two
way street out there.
    Ya'll have a good one, and don't eat the yellow snow!
