They still needed put in service i don't give two hoots in hatties if they were FACTORY NEW . when they got broke in then ya run the overhead , pulled the pump and put it on the stand and checked it for pressure and flow and made adjustment . Just because it says one thing THIS IS NOT WHAT they are doing . Case in point here one Thursday evening after a test ride of a NEW I H 4300 Eagle when they first came out my one close friend and i BOUGHT two new 4300 Eagles , Both speced out the same except for color k, they were BUILT back to back and only ONE number in the S/N was different . Straight from the factory in Ft. Wayne My buddys ran better then mine by a half gear better in the hills , i took mine up to Cummins first and when Bobby and Chucky got done with mine i was a whole gear faster up the hills Then he took his up and they did the same thing to his and once again i was on the back door . Back to Cummins and they gave me a wee bit more and the battle was on back and forth with the two truck till they were ALMOST even , both pulled the hills with 95 to a 100 grand in the wagon even , BUT flat out i was getting fifty RPM more on the top and could do a couple more MPH . The battle was far from over and we started doing things to make MORE pony power , Pump work Bigger hair dryers Cam timing Pulse manifolds custom injectors all Stelite valves , running the intake valves tighter loosen up the exhaust valves only 45 inch pounds on the injectors , then a total tear down and all sorts of grinding and deflashing along with and over balance of all moving rotating pieces and parts . We made them RUN . Now had you had those engines done like they were suppose to it would have made a HUGE difference . A 903 IF momorey still serve me they had a gov run out of 2850 and IF the 855 was factory set it had a 2150 Gov run out and started layen the fuel back at 2050 RPM . NOW had you added say like four shims on the back side and got it to run with a 2350 fuel run out and a top gov run out of 2450 . then you would have had your EYES opened . After spending the better part of my life twisten wrenches since 1962 and making thing GO i do have a fair bit of knowledge Of what runs and what does not run and HOW to make the ones that don't run scream . And you like most don't know the how to and what fors ya just get in them and drive them . Same as when i had the shop open 99% of my customers did not know that hey by the way here when was the last time you had the valves adjusted on your diesel tractor and i would get YOU HAVE TO ADJUST THE VALVES ONCE IN A WHILE , well DAH yea you do and when you went to adjust the valves you could throw a cat between the valve stem and rocker arm . Your Doge Cummins SHOULD have the valves adjusted every 25000 miles Big trucks every 100000 miles , i did mine at 50000 miles or when i had to replace head gskts and head bolt , the price you paid for a go fast truck with the wick turned way up .
