Cat 3116 TA Tappet Adjustment

[barlow]

Interested to hear of adjustment being out at 1000 hours.

Wonder what Frank W has to add to this discussion?

Any thoughts Frank?

Thought your name was familiar Graham I was involved in motorsport on the fringes of OSCA in the good old days. Ian Munt, deceased unfortunately, John Osbourne, Trevor Crowe, Inky Tulloch, Murray Baker and many other reprobates to name but a few.

Were you in the single seaters?

Steve,

The Cat recommendations are for 250 hours then again at 2000 hours. My view is that if you have the valve cover off for anything between 1000 and 2000 hours, check the valves while you are repairing or reseating the injectors.
