What can be done about the Cat 3208 engine?
Jasper has a rebuilt 3208 with newly designed pistons that have an additional compression ring they say will eliminate the problem, but people at CAT and others he has talked to say it’s a band-aid fix as the bottom end of the engine can’t take the horsepower.
What was the bottom end of the 3208 made for?
The bottom end was the weak link. At the time the 3208 was designed, it was suppose to be a replacment for the 1160 V8 engine. The 3208 was originally “made” so they say, for Ford to put into their C-Series cab over truck.
What kind of engine is a Ford 3208?
At the time the 3208 was designed, it was suppose to be a replacment for the 1160 V8 engine. The 3208 was originally “made” so they say, for Ford to put into their C-Series cab over truck. I have some old Ford literature the list the 3208 under a Ford name (sort of how Cummins is w/ the Ram today).
Why does my 3208 cat blow out oil?
It is aftercooled from the factory and only has 92,000 miles on it. They pull a 22 ft. enclosed car hauler with this coach. The problem is that the engine is blowing oil out of the crank case vent. It will blow out about 1 1/2 gallons of oil in around 500 miles.
