<VV> Clutch Pilot Bushing Question

[PETER INMAN]

If you want to impregnate the bushing with oil how about putting it in a pressure cooker with some moly oil and cooking it at 15#  for about 15 minutes? Seems like that might  work.

I bought the bushing from Lon. You bring up a good point I hadn't considered - machined oilite. I didn't use the hot oil method since I figured it would have been a wasted effort. I wish now that I had, but it didn't occur to me that someone would machine an oilite part. I didn't mean to pull things off track by talking about the hot oil thing but it's just so much fun watching the bubbles!!

This is sort of the question I originally asked concerning the oem 
bushings I have. Were they perhaps machined Oilite or a similar 
material?  Where did you get this bushing, specifically, and what was 
the part number?

I did not ask about 'How to Oil an Oil-ite Bushing', if anyone is 
wondering, but the topic sorta got off on that track.

So, did you drop your machined looking bushing into hot oil?  Did it bubble?
