Does anyone have first hand experience removing and reinstalling a Cat 3208 fuel pump?
I've got fuel collecting in the valley which according to the engine surveyor at pre purchase and what I've read online points to the governor control rod seal.
It seems to be possible to change this seal without pulling the pump but due to the age of the engines, 1983 and 4000 hrs, I'm thinking it's time to have the pumps and injectors serviced.
So it's decision time. Do I hire it our or wrestle with it myself.
Thanks in advance for any experience based help provided.
