340 lifter bores bushed or not ?? Solid Roller cam

The golden era of companies being owned by the men that started them is fading. Hilborn, Crower, Edelbrock, Iskenderian, etc.....it's easy to forget those are names of people, not just companies.

As for bushing the block....I guess it's OK but I think it gets tossed around far too easily. People talk about it like it's buying a can of Coke....the same no matter where you go. And they talk about like it's the answer to everything.

If you've ever actually seen a block being bushed, you'd quickly recognize it's a procedure chock full of opportunities to make mistakes. It's also not a 500,000 mile deal....bronze bushings wear out, and probably faster than cast iron, too. I'm all for bushing the lifter bores when it makes sense...but I don't think it's 'all good'.
