Pilot bushing direction

Cracked the bushing… had it in the freezer for a few hours, but it did not want to play. I thought it was going—turned out the socket was digging in to the bushing itself.

I think my local Napa has some in stock. I’ll work on my patience and precision.

This motor did have an automatic transmission attached to it originally. The pilot shaft hole is about 2” deep. Thought I read of some folks smoothing that out.
