Valve timing, on a diesel it is not really timing as it is not triggering a distributor, but it still moves the valve train on an overhead cam engine. The Pathfinder was a marinized VW single overhead cam diesel that was converted from the car engines. The car engine was a converted gas design. Or it could be a SeaPower marine engine but those are the VW TDI engines and I have not seen one of those in a sailboat as they start off well over 100 hp. (Mine in my car is 150 hp at 3500 HP)
