Buzz words, terms and slang for diesals

Okay, I have worked on hot rod motors for a long time, and can build big block mopars and small block mopars all day, but diesals are quite new to me- is there a glossary of terms for some of the hi-po mods and what they do? They are obviously having mostly to do with fuel delivery and timing, since they seem to be one in the same on diesals, no spark plug and all LOL

I see about plates being slid back and forth etc- I have no idea what or where I should be looking at or for LOL

How about a blow up exploded view of the main items?
