[Healeys] Pilot/spigot bush

[BJ8Healeys]

Yes, it's sintered bronze.  I recently replaced the spigot bush.  I put the
new one in a small pot of engine oil and heated it until air bubbles came
out of the bushing and then stopped.  Then I let it sit a couple days in the
oil before installing.

Fellow Listers,
I'm replacing the pilot or spigot bush that sits in the end of the
crankshaft where the transmission input shaft rides on. Is this bronze bush
one of those sintered bronze bushings that needs to soak in hot oil for a
day or so?
Thanks,
Elton, BJ7 in progress
