3208 - Valve Lash Adjustment
You fellows that want to believe that any engine will hold the valve adjustment
for 100k miles are the kind of owners that get to replace the engine prematurely. A 3208 should run 300k miles in a bus IF the valve lash is maintained, the crank bearings are changed at 100 to 150k miles and the coolant ph is maintained. Obviously oil and filter change intervals should be observed. The truth is few shops WANT to work on an FC and they will lie to keep from having to. Some of you guys don't know when you are being set up for failure, and a really, really expensive repair bill.
