That's why a picture would help to identify.....most likely is the D315 engine.

Hey Old Magnet & gang... I finally got a chance to post some pictures of the combustion chamber and retaining nut from the ol' 955. Maybe this will clear up some questions. I threw in a pic of the ol' gal also! Check this out!

It's after the fact now but that is a 955C of 1955 vintage with D315 engine and you have the late style one piece glow plug pre-combustion chambers.

So it's safe to say that these pre comb. chambers have been changed out at sometime and are not the original parts, correct?

That is correct, those are not the original style that had a separate combustion chamber and separate retainer plus the splined nut. They are probably after market units.

OM those are a replacement or update that Cat came out with and on some engines were a changed number and replaced the old ones when a new one was needed. Cat was so good with changing part numbers all the time rom what they were in the book.
