Bummer. I was hoping for 14 years before rebuild.
Actually thanks for allowing me to be less parinoid. I'm running Castrol
20/50. The gauge goes to 230 so I assumed I should be up a bit more.
I have a guitar amp that goes to 11 which is one louder than 10. Makes all
the difference in the world. Any gauges go to 231?
Cheers,
Scott
Mashed 60 BN7
(OK I stole the 11 from Spinal Tap)
