3208 - Valve Lash Adjustment
If you wait until it clatters, you waited too long. I would run the valves now
and check every 20k miles there after. Get new valve cover gaskets from Cat to make the job easier and to improve the odds of a good outcome.

I know that Cat's official reccomendation is with every oil change. This I feel certain, is overkill. My bus had a factory rebuilt 3208 installed about 3 years ago. There is about 13 thousand miles on it. The motor runs perfect, nice and smooth. To my knowledge there has never been a valve adjustment performed. Should I pull the covers and get out the feeler guage? Thanks in advance for your input. --James 78FC33SB LasVegas NV SPONSORED LINKS Recreational vehicles Wanderlodge Automotive maintenance Recreational vehicle dealer Used recreational vehicles Automotive radiators ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YAHOO!
