So, what did you do about the burr's around the holes?

I would like to see a cut away of a prechamber or an explanation of how they work. I can see the ball in there but cannot see underneath of it to know what the transition is to the little holes in the tip.
Except for hand brushing the crud off of the exterior of the Prechamber I did nothing to the burrs. I did not feel removing it would serve any prupose.
In fact my reson for pulling out the Prechamber was to test some Tools I had made. I did not remove them to clean them.
I guess it depends how big the burrs are. It is hard to see in the pic but there is a sligntly raised ring around the prechamber hole.

You could try carefully gripping ony the Aluminum Seal Ring with a Channel Locks and see if you can Rotate it. Instlling the Prechamber Puller Tool would allow you something to hold onto.
