Different pistons. The injectors are on the other side.

depends on what 24v your talking about. all 5.9 blocks are the same up untill the second gen 24's. as for the injectors being on the wrong side? total BS, the injectors are dead center of the cylanders no matter what cummins your getting into

Dead center but the 12 valve has some angle to them. I think the blocks are the same except for some sensor positions.

Correct. Thus the offset dish in the piston. The 24v piston has no offset.
