You must have stock in Clevit or Seal Power as it will not be long before ya eat a exhaust valve or two or three and ya can put them back together have evrything set dead on and the vary first time ya put a good long load on it and you will get to do the next two or three valse and after ya pull the same head five or six times in as many weeks ya may get the idea that your socalled Rotilia maybe not made for a I H 6 cylinder gasser . That is why they make the I H low Ash oil . Between fuels and oils i have learned alot over the past 40 plus years and learned it the hard way . Maybe that is why myself and my buddys are getting along just fine with our old tractors as we have been running what the Mfg. calls for and since we have been doing this i spend alot less time worken on the engines . Just like the fuel thing on the gasser the next time we eat a piston because of impropper fuel delivered to the farm they will eat the repair bill and my new labor rate to them is twice what Cat gets for a road call. as i do not need the experance in putting sleeves and pistons in or pullen heads to do a valve job. Like when i bought my old semi new i went with Texaco for my oil and greases and from the time of the second oil change my Cummins started burning a gallon a day in 400-500 miles while my buddys truck that was almost a carbon copy of mine less the paint did not burn a drop as he was on Delo . After 8 mo. Cummins had to rebuild mine and luckly they did not have to pull the crank but if i had went maybe another 10000 miles it would have taken a crank and cam as all the bearings Rings and sleeves were shot like it had over a half million miles when it only had a littel over 80000 , the place i was buying my lubes from were buying in balk and had there owen system to fill drums well all there bulk oils of all kinds flowed into one pipe that they filled all the differant drums out of and they were contaminating all there drumed oil . I was one of the lucky ones that did not have to pay for there mistakes . But a oil that is made for one thing my work on some other things but not all engines . I figure it this way the men that design and build the engine know way more then i and they set down what requirements are needed for the best life of said engine . So that is why the gassers at our places run the 30 weight low ash and the diesels run the 30 weight #1 diesel as all these engines were designed and built BEFORE the onset of the mulitgrades and this is what the book calls for , now the dodge cummins that we all have all get the 15-40 seires three i run the Delo 400 in mine Eugene and Vernon run the Case I H #1 Diesel in the 15-40 i theres as they buy enough oil from the friendly local Case I H store during open house days at a 25% off deal because they buy somany drums of the oil and the Hy tran . Where as me i only go thru maybe twenty gallon or so for the dodge and maybe five for the wifes car and my old ranger that it does not pay to buy what littel i get for the cars and trucks . As for my tractors they get changed out of what Eugene gets as he puts more hours on it then i do . My 806 is pushen 9000 hrs and the head has never been off or the pan down . Don't think that you will get that out of a 15-40 in one of them old tractors to live that long.
