On occasion I have seen dampers =C2=A0with plastic caps that have the steel=
 rod protruding through the top of the cap. =C2=A0This is caused when the e=
ngine has backfired through the carburetors and the piston and damper are d=
riven upwards. This drives the damper rod through the plastic cap. =C2=A0Yo=
