If you were to go with two bushings pressed in, the correct way to do it would be to ream them to size after pressing in. That assures alignment and sizing. I don't know that I would bother with a bearing length that short. If you can't bore them yourself or pay someone to do it to do a one piece full length bushing, I'd sell them as is and put the money towards something better. Just not enough bearing length to support anything but a very mild spring, IMO.


I'm not sure about that. I've run unbushed aluminum rockers with 320 on the seat and over 800 over the nose and shifted at 8500 plus and never had an issue.

If the oil timing to the rockers is correct, they don't need a ton of bearing area. Getting the oil timing to the rockers correct is a whole 'nother issue and discussion.
