I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Spanerman, Spud Wiki doesn't explain to him
how it works.
Here, try this
site and
BC Vids. Under BC Vids, try looking at the barrel sealing piston video on how to build a piston, and try searches on "barrel sealing piston" as well. You should be able to find what you need.

I didn't see that. Alright, I take back what I said. Oh and Spanerman, I apologize if I sounded a little "snarky" in my message. I just re-read it and realized how jabby I sounded.
