Brian, thank you for your comments on the topic. I checked-out the Service Manual link -- and what a wealth of inside information.

Super8OD. I owe you a PM response, and also many thanks for the contact info on Steve Messenger. I spoke with him this morning, and in the afternoon, he called back to say he had spoken with everyone he knew from coast to coast who might have the part, and came up with the same result as I -- 'not available" But, then he said that he knows a machinist who can duplicate the piston! Yeah. So the parts are on their way to Napa. Looks like I won't become the goto guy for Tappet Oil Regulator inards -- but maybe Steve Messenger will.
