All, as I'm typing this I realize I probably need to post on boat diesel, but I'm hoping you may know the answer. I have an old Cat 3208NA and one of the cylinders seems to run hot above 2000 rpms. I believe this because of infrared temp readings of the exhaust manifold. The exhaust also has the barest hint of white smoke. I'm thinking bad injector. Make sense?
I'm looking at the repair manual that came with the 3208 and there seem to be a bunch of adjustments that can be made to an injector. In other words, I probably can't just order a new one and pop it in because it will need adjustment, which is above my head and tool kit at the moment. Perhaps the most I could do is remove the injector and scrub the nozzle with a wire brush as suggested in the manual.
Any tips or experience with 3208 injectors? Any flaws in my thinking? Thank you!
