In operation, is the ball pin an important part of the ignition process?
I was thinking of applying a ceramic thermal barrier to the inside of
a set of prechambers, and wondering if I should leave the insulation
off the ball pin. From what you said above, it sounds like the ball should
be left bare if I attempt this.
