BothThey need to be heat probed to setup properly, they can't really go off timing. Have you been through fuel system thoroughly? Banjo bolts on glass bowl and lift pump are prohe to pick up crap. There's a filter in the lift pump aswell.
What's the symptoms? Underpower or rough running?
Starts up with a clater and a bang but then levels out last of the air cooled type

Antares?
The rubber pipes running up there in the heat are prone to crack and let air in. On my Titan, which has more or less the same layout, I fabricated a heat shield around the turbo to deflect heat from it away from vulnerable rubber and plastic bit in the vicinity. I did that within a few months of buying it new, back in 1993 and it still does the job today.Try blanking off the fuel pipe to the pre heat on the inlet manifold .
Had problems in the past with fuel running back to tank and air ingress into the fuel system when under load on some of the air cooled engines in the past.

Its not everyone's cup of tea but it has worked hard for me and keeps on doing so. The only part of it I don't like and have never got on with, and find me someone who does like it, is the clutch. The lack of modulation and consistency of engagement when using the pedal.What do think of the titan
Very old model that one. You are harking back to the early 1980's I think. Never seen one in the metal. The County 1174 and Ford 8210 were really big tractors at the time and the most powerful tractor I recollect locally from that period was an International 1255. The same contractor has a few 956 models that had turbo's fitted and these outperformed the 1255, which was 125hp. Massive power for the early to mid 1980's around these parts.Alway thought 1 of them same hurcules 160 would have been a good truck any experience of them
Grip, maybe. Safety, not so much and depending on the model. On the Explorer and Antares 100 [which should have been called the Explorer 100 really], the front axle engagement was totally at the mercy of a single fuse. No failsafe into 4wd at the time. Others, like MF with their 500 and 600 series had a similarly non-failsafe design but changed to a mechanical design with the 200 series. Oddly, the Same animal tractors, such as the Tiger, Leopard and so on, plus the Laser series also had a good mechanical engagement that was pretty safe.You'll have a job to beat a same/Lamborghini for grip and safety on steep ground
