[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 153129, member: 3426"] I wonder what ball sizing does too, but it is mentioned in the link above and presumably Oilite themselves have studied the subject. Elsewhere there is info on reaming which reads as follows: “Oilite bearings may be reamed provided a dead- sharp cutting tool is used. However, reaming does destroy porosity more than single point tooling.” Personally…. If I was going to use a reamer, I would order a new reamer made to the correct size.… but that’s just me and my growing disdain for expanding reamers. I’ve mentioned this before somewhere…. the oil supply to the cams just isn’t that great, so Oilite would offer some extra insurance. Megacycle supplied cams with different bushings and some folks experienced failures. Was it the bushing material or insufficient clearance caused when the pinion was pressed on? Who knows…. [/QUOTE]
