    There is usually a slot above the bleed hole that goes the the top of the bushing to insure it is properly lubricated. . .

    Garry, there was a groove machined in the outside of the bushing, that did
    not go all the way to the top, and would have had no way to get oil to the inside
    of the busing. Also the way the old bushing was installed, it was 180 degrees
    turned from the bleed hole,
    I stuck a drill bit in the crankcase bleed hole and drilled thru the bushing.
    Can’t imagine it will do much, but maybe better than nothing.
    Thanks.
