Pros / Con on Moline 585 engine

[DStout]

I have a friend looking a buying a Moline hot farm pulling tractor with this engine and have heard it had issues with dropping valves? Were there any fixes for this problem? Engine turns about 3000rpm"s with 35psi boost, single charger.
Thanks.

I understand the older ones could have that problem, the 2-150 was to have had that problem fixed, mind you at 3000 rpm, I don't know anything except,hey have fun, it should pull like crazy. Would like to see a video of it at a pull. If you can send me a pic or 2 of the turbo setup I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Bruce

Mr. Foss I am helping a friend building a 585. He is wanting to run a simalar setup. I was wondering what you are runnig for injectors and where to find an adapter for the A pump. Also what are you running for a charger.

Thanks BCG
