Bucc, I have to complement you on both your skills and level of perseverance. On occasion, I too have invested way too many hours in some nit of a problem to ever have made it a “paying proposition”. It’s a darn good think that we do this stuff for fun.
NOW, we still have not answered the question , is the mixer threaded in or pressed. I have to believe that its threaded.

ALSO, for future reference, when confronted with a similar problem on a mixer that, fortunately had a mounting flange, I set up the mixer in the lathe. Mounted on the face plate on a small 90* angle plate. So set -up, indicate the poppet seat and the cap face to ensure all is square and concentric. Then with a SMALL boring tool, clean up the poppet shaft bore to take a bushing, Also clean up the poppet seat if necessary.

Regards,

PS, and as always, thanks , T2 for the input
