Plunger removed.  The tolerance between the dome and piston is pretty tight s=
o it doesn=E2=80=99t go up and down without a little vacuum that you can fee=
l air pushing out of bottom holes in piston.  This is even with jet complete=
ly removed.  I think the tightness is the piston shaft going into the dome s=
haft.  I have cleaned but still same.  Got the same on another dome. May try=
 another piston.  I just don=E2=80=99t have a lot of spares

  My first time doing these do not in a big hurry.  Curious thing is I do t g=
