[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7099786, member: 718"] The 236 is far more common than the 212 and also, depending on age and previous application, probably much much smoother running, due to most having sump mounted balancer shafts fitted. Not all have this though. Combine ones did and ran at 2600 rpm and tractors from probably around 1982 also had balancers. Balancers are not perfect, in that they can break their supporting cast bearing carriers. If it works, it works though. Lovely engine of its time. It has a longer stroke and better torque than the 212 and the only difference between it and the 248 is the liner thickness and fuelling. I'm pretty sure you could convert a 236 to a 248 just by changing to the appropriate liners, although I have no experience of this being done. [/QUOTE]
