I have recently tried the 4th shape of valve plug. Picture attached and for Yahoo find it at:

I plan a slightly more tapered plug as the final design. The blunt end will still ensure ‘relief’ properties while the taper will ensure the smooth pressure control that will stop cooler damage and wear on pressure senders.
Unfortunately it can’t stop leakage through engine casings so my engine still needs to be split. The healthy pressure in the video drops back when the engine is warm and at tick over I only see 10 psi. The joys of Jabiru ownership…..
