ball pusher Explanation: In the absence of any context to go on, the directly-literal translation may be the only way to go. More context is needed, or you need to go back and ask the client for clarification. |

| poussoir a bille spring plunger with ball/press-fit ball plunger/ ball and spring plunger Explanation: is it really à billes in the plural? What I know is poussoir à bille (in the singular), in which case a pousoir à bille ressembles a set screw (or a pin in the case of the press-fit type)with a ball under spring-load at one end and a slot at the other (or a flat surface for the press-fit). See the site for picture of the product Reference: http://www.monroeengineering.com/plungers/index.htm |

balls and pushrod assembly Explanation: so now it is an engine component and there is indeed a poussoir on an engine: that's a tappet. But besides bucket/sliding/roller/mushroom tappet (and some others) a ball tappet brings nothing satisfactory in an Internet search. However poussoir could also be a shortening for tige poussoir = push rod. A search with ball pushrod/push rod turns up credible results, not confirming this denomination, but leading to the above. Besides the two below, here is a third one: AutoZone.com | Repair Info | GM Corsica/Beretta 1988-1996 Repair Guide ... Remove the rocker arm nuts, rocker arm balls, rocker arms, push rod guides and push rods and place in a rack so that they may be reinstalled in the same location. www.autozone.com/.../az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/14/7b/1f/0900... - [cache] - Live Reference: http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Chrysler/TechInfo1.asp Reference: http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/14/7b/1f/09... |
