Alloy oil pump drive bush

Hi,
Just wondering if these alloy oil pump drive shaft bushes are any good? Or should I chuck it and get a bronze one?

Never used the alloy type oil pump drive bushing. If the alloy is softer than the oil pump drive I see no reason why it wouldn't work. 65'

Depends on the alloy. Magnetic?

As said, it depends; I dunno anything about those. I'd be a lot more comfortable with one of the standard sintered bronze ones, since they hold oil in them.

FWIW, here is an interesting video on sintered bronze bushings.

No it's not magnetic.

It will work fine. You just can't hot tank the block without knocking it out. If you ever need to clean the block.
