Flanged bushing burnishing tool

[William Huff <whuff@xxxx>]

Thanks for the info Warren,

There aren't any on EBay right now, I wrote to Miller for a quote. I 
hesitate to confess that I have put a couple of engines together without 
the tool, simply using the old oil pump drive to tap the new bushing into 
place. There seemed to be adequate clearance to the new drive shaft. What 
is the down side of not doing the burnishing, so long as the shaft to 
bushing clearance is sufficient?

Thanks,

Bill

The installer tool is always needed.

Bushing driver tool comes with piloted plate and drawing nut used to pull
burnishing end through installed bushing. Burnishing end measures 0.4875 in 
(which is two rounded lands). The two old 413 oil pump drive shafts I have 
measure 0.485 in. Note: When Mr Merritt finds his burnisher we can 
thendebate the fourth decimal place above.

We want to remember about $25 dollar range for either tool probably about 4
yrs ago.

E-bay? We have netted some killer tool deals from that source - - - -. Hint.
