Myself i believe that is a little over kill as 93 does vary well in a 706 gasser . As to the amount of gas that goes thru one in a day i never thought that it was that bad. I have run 706 gassers since about 1980 and when they are tuned correctly they do a vary good job . One must stay up on keeping them tuned and just throwing a set of plugs and points in one is not a tune up . checking the timing and setting it dead on adjusting the valves once a year if you are putting hours on it working , The valve adjustment at times can be a real pain as rocker arm wear can give you a false set due to as i call it bridging from wear on the end of the rocker arm as the rockers do not always hit the valve stem dead on and most are off to the side . setting of the valve lash is a art and it really does take years to learn and setting of the valves does affect the engine's performance . The feel of the feeler gauge is not the same between two people as my set and your will not be the same . How important is valve set ???? well i can tell you this that on my 95 dodge Cummins it can mean a 3 mile to gallon difference in fuel mileage. and on a 35 gallon tank that is and extra 105 miles , and yes a 5.9 cummins needs it's valves adjusted every so often like any other solid or roller cam followers do .

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
