Need to sort out what 212 you have, preferrably with a s/n.
A 5B9297 injector is the early style that uses a set screw on the pre-combustion chamber.
Later D311 engines don't have set screws and use a different injector arrangement.
Both styles screw in to the pre-combustion chambers, not directly into the head.

S/N 1R734. That is exactly what I thought they did. Thread into a dry hole like some I.H. s. I also didn't know it was a D-311. My operators manual shows graders with two different engines and classify them simply as "earlier" and "later". I have both manifolds on the same side. Is that the 311?
