So basically he loosen the brackets and used a wrench to adjust each of those things right, can this be done on a OM603 and Om617.95 (turbocharged) too maybe we should get creven in here after all its his video

"Cam phasing" should never be done DIY. You're fooling yourself if you think you can tune the pump better than a $100,000 calibration bench.

What bench is worth 100K thats insane!!!!

The test bench needed to properly calibrate an injection pump.

FI is Soooooo correct!

The Gentleman in the Video is performing the one Big NO NO on his Injection Pump.

He loosened the 8 locknuts on his Delivery Valve Barrels(and proceeded to
Totally FU his pump),then you see him "ADJUSTING" the Flow Rates by "Who
knows what Criteria"!
You can Scorch Pistons doing this! Along with a whole host of other nasty
consequences.

I've heard an Urban Rumor that some individuals have started using this stupid
adjustment method in conjunction with the "Mili-Volt Glow Plug Monitoring".

I promise you that if you (Or anyone else not of the Supreme Being genre)
could use this method ALL THE DIESEL "SERVICE STATIONS" WOULD TOO!

Call up ANY one who services Diesel Injection Pumps and tell them you're
considering using this method to "Adjust" your pump...Stand by for a rather
LOUD Telephonic Lesson.
