3208 - Valve Lash Adjustment
It's really not a bad job to adjust the valves, its getting the
radiator open and pulling the doghouse thats the majority of the work. If you have to pull the doghouse for any reason, you might as well spend another hour adjusting the valves.

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. > Mike Hohnstein > Germantown, WI > 83FC35 |
