So the engine is hanging from the hoist and I was finishing up the final few tasks before I could drop it in place when I pulled out the WSM and read that the pilot bushing needs to be soaked in oil for 24 hours. I was really hoping to get the motor installed today, if for no other reason than to not have to pay another $37 on the hoist rental.
My question is this: Is the 24 hour oil bath still necessary for bushings made from modern materials (the pilot bushing was recently purchased from SS), or have the bushings really not changed that much over the past 40 years?
Thanks,
Andy
