February, 1986, began with a “generic” dance for members only hosted by Rich Kubin in Westwood. Tall folks braved the cold weather with a sleigh ride in Sudbury with Lee Michaels, contra dancing with Sally Fessler in Cambridge, cross country skiing with Bill O’Donnell in Carlisle, and ice skating with Anne Burke in Brighton.

However, Chevy made the new heads a little too thin, and they had to be thickened again when durability testing revealed that cracks could occur around the head attachment bosses under high engine loads.
