Re: Pilot shaft bushing wearing fast and often!!
Hi Mike,
I've never heard of using a "The stock bushing uses 10W30 engine
oil on a felt pad and should be
soaked." seems like you would be asking for a heck of a chatter. A disk
is like brake shoes, we can't even leave body oil on them.

Re: Pilot shaft bushing wearing fast and often!!
The way I understand it, sintered brass bushings are meant to be
"impregnated" with oil, but as you say there should be no surplus.

Re: Pilot shaft bushing wearing fast and often!!
Oilite type bearings in an auto engine? They worked reasonably well in
low rpm computer gear where the side load wasn't very high and the rpm
range was low. Excess oil was never good news.
