This must be related to the prechamber change between vertical and oblique injection and the 5 degree incline they put on the injector. FSM says oblique gives a smoother run, so maybe just transfer prechambers and injectors over. A little more work (ie. to the machine shop it goes) but get improved injection and better long term solution.

Maybe that's why the changed thread pitch, to make sure you couldn't mix and match the prechambers and injectors that would not work well together.
