[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 116886, member: 3426"] I’m really not the person to answer those questions. Oilite if I understand completely, has pores filled with lubricant , so they will presumably tolerate interruptions of..or low oil supply better than bearing bronze. Again, I don’t know for sure, but you may be over optimistic when you say oil drenched. I haven’t had any personal experience with Megacycle’s bushings, but understand from comments on the forum that folks have had then seize on the spindles. Whether that is directly related to the bushing material or simply a lack of clearance for oil to get into the bushing in sufficient quantity because the bushings were’t opened back up again after the pinion was pressed on remains a question I have. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the debate. [/QUOTE]
