Heres a very rough diagram of a FE3 HLA
Thanks to FE3T for hosting the image. see fourth post for it :-)
things to note :
1. the red area has such a tight clearance that with no oil at all i.e. washed clean with gas, it holds an air-tight seal!! (the ball holds this seal too)
2. the green region is where the VERY small spring resides, and also where the oil flows through past the small (gray) ball.
this is also the problematic dirty area. although in mine the whole area above that (below when in engine) was full of black carbon S**t.
3. blue is oil. (obviously)
4. note the circlip around the middle sized piston.
hope this helps clarify my description.

Such a shame to see this replaced :
