Newbie wants an FC but worried about the Cat 3208 engine

I can provide some insight on this question since my
coach had a 3208 replaced at about 75k. It was
replaced because it put a rod thru the block on the
left side. I have no idea why it happened. Perhaps
it was run out of oil or badly overheated. Bluebox
seems to indicate that the owner was not negligent in
general maintenance. It seems unlikely to me that
catastrophic failure like that would not give any
advance warning signs unless it was instigated by
suddenly dropping a valve into the cylinder or
something liek that but there was no comment in the
paperwork on any other related problems.
