Some of the worst shit I've seen was the PMs on the NG compressor engines.
I had a ****** guy call me one day and the conversation went kinda like this:
Him: "Hey, just thought you should know about this, you know, in case some engines start grenading... off the record, yeah?"
Me: "Totally. What's up?"
Him: "Turns out some of our field service guys are fucking lazy. Rather than do a proper PM and change the oil and filter they've realized that they can just turn the filter 1/4 turn, wipe a clean spot, write a new date on it, check the dipstick, and be on their way."
Me: "So you're telling me engines are going 4 times their service intervals"
Him: "Ummmmm... yes."
Me: "LMFAO."

What hour intervals?
I think the O&M manual on the 8.3 says check overhead at every 250 hrs or so. With the 98% up-time the compression guys want, that's an overhead check every ~10.5 days. Does anyone really do that?

but really I probably set the valves ever 2-3 months. I realize it's more an indicator of wear vs. a consumable like oil/filters/etc. But I was lazy about valves... Like I said, I was always lazy about it on my personal trucks. It was never an issue every time I checked it
