do you think that maybe you could have boogered the end of the bushing installing it in the crankshaft ??? just a thought .I have done that ,and did it to 2 or 3 of them before I installed it without damage :-$
Thats why I went ahead and ordered another one..And the new clutch centering tool. I tried to put this very bushing in a 318 motor last year and found out the crank wans't drilled for a 4 speed motor. So I ended up puttingthe big bearing in the end of the crank. Had the brass bushing left over so I tried to use in this current project..Didn't appear to be damaged, but it definitely doesn't fit the clutch tool.
Hopefully I will be able to resolve this with the new bushing.
