Question: Once you've forced them past their set-point and into the block itself
What is going to "Hold" the re-installed balls(Or New Ones)????????????????????

I like the idea of Threading the end of the oil galleries for a Bolt (Locktite).

Once pushed in (the steel balls) there is an opening of greater width than the the oil galleries that 'catches' them. They only go so far so as to allow flow. But then I am lost, It appears you have to get them from the other side,.. totally lost.

Can't thank you guys enough!!!

Thanks
