| Ok, over the years, I have read a lot on here and other places, about the 3208. Seems either one loves the engine and has no issues, or it is not even worthy of a boat anchor. So just what might be the cause of the issues? In say a 4x4 tractor, is it dirty air, or clogged filters that cause top end issues? Or is it hard pulling and lugging that breaks them? There has to be millions or close to it, of these engines built and many still out there. The people that like them, seem to say other than a leak or two, they are quite happy with them. But I dont know if its because they dont pull them hard, or if its because they do pull them rather than baby them. If you had one, and it blew up, what would be the closest engine to swap straight up? Bell housing pattern being the most important. Thanks. |
