Perkins printed this one as TSD 3430, issue 2, and it runs 256 pages on the 3008 and CV8 diesel V8. Teardown and rebuild are covered end to end: cylinder heads, pistons and connecting rods, crankshaft, timing gears and case, camshafts and engine timing, the twin turbochargers and air-to-air charge coolers, the eight-element Bosch in-line injection pump, cooling, and the flywheel housing. Fits and clearances sit in their own blocks beside the procedures, so you measure as you go instead of hunting a spec table twenty pages away. Torque the M15 cylinder head bolts to 240 Nm plus a further 90 degrees; injector clamp cap screws go to 60 Nm. Check the build line before you set valves: engines from number 8281 run 0,2 mm inlet clearance, earlier ones 0,4 mm. Page 215 carries a typical wiring diagram alongside its cable-data table. Native text layer and 63 bookmarks, so a search for any spec lands you on the page.
