Wax also works well. Also, make sure the pilot bushing is actually brass and not brass colored/plated steel.

Jason </div></div> Negative, Make sure it's an Oilite bushing. And do NOT grease it other than a <span style="text-decoration: underline">very</span> light coat on the input shaft. Too much grease will fill up the pores in the bushing and prevent the oil from doing it's job. Verne [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] If it doesn't say Oilite on the packaging you can leave it sit on a paper towel for a while and look for a dark ring where the oil wicked out. |

The GM bushings <span style="text-decoration: underline">were</span> Oilite. Several suppliers have them. I'd try NAPA first. Verne [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] |
