Somebody with a set of STONES should give MAMBY-PAMBY safety a LONG RIDE on a LARGE BOOT off a SHORT PIER and start DRILLING the core of motors to make REAL B14's on an AUTOMATED (non-manned) machine. If an 'incident' occurs, nobody is hurt and presents no real safety issue anyway. If distributed through normal 'discount' channels such as Hobby Lobby and Michaels, I would venture the B14-0 and B14-5 would out sell any other B motor except the B6-4 ! Remember Bigger (14 vs. 6 or 4) numbers ALWAYS sell better from an as-inine yet true marketing standpoint. That's why idiots randomly buy D12-7's and C6-7's when they don't know which to pick. Any way one slices it, as long as the price is competitive, the B14 will sell. Short of that even a B8 would be a VAST improvement over the engines we get now.

I still have a supply of both drilled-core and pressed-core B14's in my OOP motor supply. While the pressed-core motors do provide a pretty good liftoff punch, the drilled-core ones have a much more vigorous 'kick'. I have all flavors of the pressed-core B14 left but only have B14-0's and B14-7's with drilled-cores. Have B8's in all flavors but the Centuri-only B8-3, which I have NEVER physically seen in-person. Have seen several photos of that one that existed only one year.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
