Valve adjustment on 3208 Engine

[Tom Warner]

Jon the factory manual that I have is Caterpillar Operation &
Maintenance manual SEBU6315 dated May 1992. It is for Cat 3208 from
40S1-UP, 99R1-UP,32Y1-UP, 2Z1-UP, 51Z1-UP.

Be advised that Caterpillar also changed the amount of oil that the
engine held and reduced them by 2 quarts.
