I was thinking of unit injector pumps situated on the side of the block so need phasing/timing individually but I don't know
Unlike the later 1000 series engines, these Pantherised engines have one or two banks of two, three or four units pumps with the governor at the timing gear end at the front. Six cylinder ones have two units of three pumps each bolted down to the block above the camshaft. Not sure whether shims under these alter the timing as much as the stroke of the pistons inside. Dial gauges are involved [shudder ]
There's a long rack from the governor at the front to the stop lever at the back of the block if I remember correctly.
The 1000 series have the governor at the back of the engine, whether the mechanical type or electronically controlled [on Antares (apart from A100 which was really an intercooler Explorer), Silver, Titan and those ones with the Deutz cab whose name I forget.]
The principle of what I say above is correct but excuse me if some details are inaccurate. Its been a very long time since I even thought about these models. I mean decades of time has passed.
