Abstract
The present invention relates to an engine and a method for producing the engine. The engine is constructed as follows. The engine interlockingly operates a pump () for feeding fuel under pressure, by power of a crank shaft (). A pair of gears () and () are arranged to be attached to a gear attaching shaft (). The paired gears () and () are attached to the gear attaching shaft (). At least one gear () of the paired gears () and () constitutes a gear train () through which the power of the crank shaft () is transmitted to the pump (). The method for producing the engine is constructed as follows. The method uses a common part for each of the gear trains () and () so as to produce engines of an injection pump specification and a common rail specification and alternatively manufactures the gear trains () and () through the common part. It comprises attaching a pair of gears () and () to a gear attaching shaft () of the engine of every specification, making one gear () of the paired gears () and () serve as a basic gear and the other gear () serve as a second gear, employing the basic gear () as the common part for each of the gear trains () and () and alternatively manufactures the gear trains () and () of the engines of the respective specifications through the basic gear () of the common part.
