Title: Rocker arm bushing
Post by: spanner on September 02, 2006, 12:40:34 AM
The bushes in my rocker arms seem to be worn as oil is escaping between bushes and shaft. The only way I can get enough oil to lube the top end is to block off the relieve hole in the centre nut that the oil line screws into.
I'm just after some help with the best way to fix this problem. Should I get new bushes made or can I buy them from someone? I would also expect the shaft to be worn as well. I wouldn't think mine would be the first grey with this problem, so I'm hoping someone has got some good advise.

Graham, any engine builder should be able to fit new ones for you. AFAIK bushes are a common size, not made specifically for grey motors, it should be as easy as getting the right size off the shelf.
