It ain't the valves, If anything it may be the timing. And that spec. i do not have . They will run when ya can throw a cat between the rocker arm and the valve stem . I went thru this gas issue even on my old Massey 300 . I was tryen to be cheap and save a couple cents on fuel . with the 87 in it she would run way over 200 degrees on a cold morning with no power checked everything and replaced the water pump pulled the rad and had it rodded out and flow tested . Went to get gas one morning and the station was out of reg. so i spent the extra 20 cents for the high test and it ran all day at 190 and it got real warm that day had no power issues and even used a bit less gas . And on the Farmall tractors they need the better grade fuel as with the combines . Myself i would get the timing spec.'s and check that and there is no doubt on the fuel issue here as when working that engine is working at full load and the 87 will pre ignite and cause and issue . If you are doing nothing then you may and i say again you may get buy with the lower grade BUT are you willing to take a chance of seezen a piston ?? I have a collection of them and i do not get my rocks off fixen them . We run the bag off the two 706's we have over the past couple weeks between hauling silage and grinding feed . And if ya don't think dragging a BIG silage wagon don't stress them think again, at between 28-30000 lbs loaded.
