Three missing bleed restrictors, hard to replace?

[deerhuntre]

I pulled the intake covers off to look at the pistons and to retrieve a broken puller piece the fell into the intake.

Anyhow, the numbers 1, 3, and 5 bleed restrictors are missing and I'm going to try to get replacements. I can't find anything on here about how to install them.

Do these just press in? Is it hard to get them lined up and correctly inserted so they stay open?

Are there any approaches I can use to make this process easier?

Again, thanks everyone!! The advice and help here is wonderful and cherished!!

I think they just press in. Mine fell out 20 years ago, and the marine mechanic/parts guy laughed when I wanted to replace them. He said they make no difference.

Well, my local dealer has them in stock so I'm going to give it a try before putting the covers back on. Wost that can happen is I can't get them in, I guess.
