[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 110217, member: 2708"] I had a look at the 2004 invoices to see whether the cam bushings came from Kemps, the Spares Co. or Terry Prince. Being a cheap SOB I priced stuff all over and got most of it from Terry Prince, left over from his RTV stuff. I emailed him recently to ask where the liners came from as they appear to be immune to wear. It could be that the Honda chrome rings are a big part of that picture. It turns out that the cam bushings did not come from any of the above suppliers. On John McDougall's bill there is a time amount for rebushing cams and refacing cams & followers plus a charge of $20 for bushing material. John must have made the bushings from some stock he had, probably oilite. He also liked to make replacement valve seats from a big chunk of austenitic iron that lived behind the lathe. Glen [/QUOTE]
