I had a 1979 FC with a 3208 and it was a recent rebuild. it did smoke (Blue) on start up unless you used the block heater, and even then a little.I wrote CAT and they explained that because the 3208 does not have cylinder sleeves it has a loose tolerance until the pistons warm up, and the blue smoke is normal during warm up. After mine warmed up it did not smoke at all.

The 3208N from Factory was a 16.5:1 compression engine with only 2 piston rings. This causes the cold start smoke
problem. Rectified by installing 18.2:1 Turbo Pistons with 3 rings.
