Ok, I have a quiz...

In the pic below, there is a seal in the top left piston slot. What does it go to?


I asked several people and no one knew, even the folks at iPd. It just hit me what it goes to.

Looks like the o-ring for the vacuum tree.

No, it's bigger than the vac tree. It's almost as big as the rings for the spark plug holes.

Hurrah!!! I think you got it. That cap thing that fits over the rotor. Took me 4 weeks to realize that. It just poped in my head last night.
