sooo, this came out my engine, crank is untouched luckily but this one is done
the grease i put on there when building came out like a powder :/

what do we think, i think a new one is in order but what about a floating bush?

Fully floating bush highly recommended, fit them dry and your good to go. Not normally a fan of dry bushes personally but is a winner in regards to this.
Edit.
Just read minispares literature and it says to oil them!! No need for machining costs with these *smiley*

just the inner bush. you would still need a top hat.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i think the MS ones have a small chamfer on thr inner and wont clear the fillet on late cranks, but 30 seconds in the lath sorts this out if you need it Brett

It says not for A+ but it never use to. I run the minispares bush in a helical A+ gear and have put ~150hp through it. Its apparently to do with the oil drain holes but then, that probably depends on which bush.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

I had quite a few issues with the floating bush. As Carl says they need maching down slightly as they ride up the chamfer on the crank and seize themselves on.
