That's a 2 valve.  Million mile engine... 

The E6 2 valve is commonly regarded as a harder and tougher motor than the 4 valve 

 

As they say "she'll pull christ from the cross" or "she'll pull the ass outta the ocean"

2 valves were the very best motors of their era

Yeah, the 2 valve was much tougher. PLM pumps on the 4 valve kinda sucked too. APE pump was much better

I think the E-6 4 Valve came out in 1987.  And then in 89-90 the E-7 was born...

E6-4V came into production in 1985 if I'm not wrong. 

And many were equipped with Ambac pumps, Robert Bosch took place closer to 89.

Trucks with E6-350 4V were 688 trucks - R688, MR688 etc. Trucks with generally similar EM6-300 4V were 690 trucks - R690, DM690 and so on.

I think the E6 was a two valve. I thought they would be more compatible, but they were not that E6 was a running son of a bitch. Well, I finished the velvet adjustment. I was gonna set the timing, but I figured that’s enough for the day. It’s a lousy day with no sun.

Ok, no sun - no timing

another gloomy day,,,i will jump on it first thing in the morning 

[mowerman]

i decided to recheck all my adjustments to make sure i didnt overlook anything,,,since i did the job in 5 or so sessions 

[mowerman]

and yes ive done absolutely nothing past 4 days weather has not cooperated

weather doesn't cooperate and  motivation is low !! take a mounted DM tire and roll it up the street then back again;; rain or not!! cost less then gym and results way better. like the "farm boys" carrying the 100lb bales of hay across the field. 2025 is ten yrs since open heart surgery (2015) .heart DR said to me "don't come back here after retirement (2017) 20 lbs heavier, I'm10lbs over  ;have put off going back for check up ;;suppose to go back 4 yrs ago.  retirement is a challenge in many ways. days go by and the pounds add on. as the parts get older repairs are more difficult (experience talking!!). i'm making an appointment very soon with DR. ; not Dr it will be funeral director. 

[mowerman]

[mowerman]
