George:
No "old wives tale" I had a 1970 142S with a B20B engine. While I was on Cape Cod the muffler fell off and I dove it at night for 300 miles only to learn that the #1 exhaust valve had burned out. I remvoved the head and had a shop reseat and put in new valve guides/valves.
Sorry I was in a stroller in 1953!
Thanks to Phiiips Petroleum for the donation of Philmont Scout Ranch in NM. I had the pleasure of treking 100mi+ and it is fantastic. I visited Philmont 30 25 years later and it was and I think still the same.
