I went to a Deutz Diesel engine school 20 some years ago. The German guy
teaching said the F in the Deutz engine model numbers meant vehicular, and
the word he used sounded like Fahrtzoid. He may have been saying
Fahrzeug. I never saw it spelled, but only heard him say it. He also said
achust der falfes, which was english, with a German accent, meaning adjust
the valves. I distinctly remember the 2 word/phases.

I'm sorry to say, but I really can't grasp what "Farhrtzoid" means,
don't you mean "Fahrzeug" (=vehicle) Fahren = driving/ sailing. Zeug =
the device with which the previous act is conducted. (e.g. Werkzeug =
Tool = Work+...)
"Zundfugel" --> Zundfolge (Zund = spark/ignite, Folge = order)
