Subject: What is a REW?

Also as I understand it
a little beef up was done on the end housings to solve a
minor cracking problem. There may be other changes.

There's an excellent article written up on the 13BREW vs 13B by a friend of
mine at:
http://www.mindspring.com/~pko/13BTvs13BREW.html

The issue of the cracking problems happens with very high horsepower engines
that knock.  I believe a portion of it has to do w/ the vibration of the
top-left (driver's
side of the rear iron's tubular dowel pin iron casting area.  While it
hasn't happened
to mine yet (jinx, jinx! knock on wood), this was a problem on the earlier
13B's.
