History Channel? Facts? surely you jest! HC is good entertainment, but bad history
Anyway, I'd recommend some DDP 215s with some mild honing done.
Set the timing at 16.5° or so and see if you don't pick up some mpg...

also anyone know why John Faughn's P7100 link below doesn't work for me? I end up at http://www.cumminsdatabase.com/
I end up there when I follow a lot of other links in the archives too, but not all of them. Some work just fine.
And on a lighter note, anyone know why "The Road Warrior" (Mad Max) movie was shown on the History channel yesterday? Didn't know that was based on fact...

I'm collecting so many that its get hard to keep track , I even started [ a long time ago ] to do seprate folders for each subject.
Like now some time goes by and it changes.
The one I remember gave info on almost anything you would want ,

I don't know for sure, but I think anyone can check timing just by using the timing pins. There is one for the engine that sticks into the pump gear (or else it's the cam gear) and one in the pump itself. If they will both go into thier respecive holes, then the timing is where the factory set it. You don't need any special tools just to check it. If they won't both go in at the same time, then the timing is different from cummins spec and you could figure out which way by playing with the pins. Just don't try to rotate the engine with one of the pins "in".

To be perfectly honest, I'm a little intimidated by the procedure and a little put off by the initial cost of the tools needed. Any links to or detailed instructions/hints on setting the timing will be greatly appreciated. How much would a good wrench charge to check/adjust the timing? Anyone know a good wrench near B'ham AL?
I've also gotten email saying that I should check the valve lash, which definitley can't hurt anyway but is that a common MPG robbing item?
Fuel4me thanks for the offer and I'd like to take you up on it, check your email
