Am having problems seeing how the piston is attached to the follower so that during
the intake stroke and the metering piston pinches that cavity shut...that the
piston actually is pulled down
To not leave it floating away from the follower.
This will create a potential cavitation event inside the cylinder head and in
the cam cavity.
Then when the cam follower moves up...does it then slam into the bottom of
the piston?
