It was the larger range - so said the decal. No adjustment necessary.

Lawrence -- IMO the "best" specification to follow is in the proper model/year/version Owner's Manual (or on the car itself as Ed said) since this gets updated more frequently than the WSMs. But both ranges you state could be "correct" for a 328 depending on the version -- my impression is that on the more "emissioned" F versions (that run hotter) they increase the exhaust valve clearance range a bit to account for the higher temperatures.

look on the engine emissions data decal on the car and use the specs there.

I'm finding contradictions between my owner's manual and shop manual for the exhaust valve clearances.

Owner's manual says 0.35 - 0.40 mm
Shop manual says 0.30 - 0.35 mm in places but also says 0.35 - 0.40 mm in an illustration.

Which figure range is correct?
