[Healeys] spigot bush

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Sintered phosphor bronze is porous and should be soaked in oil before 
use. Usually a lightweight oil is used. Place the spigot bearing in a 
small container with oil making sure the spigot is fully covered, heat 
the container "au bain marie" in e.g. a large sauce pan for obvious 
safety reasons to near boiling point of the water and keep it there for 
a while so most air can escape (air will expend during heating up) from 
the porous material. Then let it all cool down to ambient temperature. 
The oil will then have penetrated in the spigot bearing replacing the 
air in de phosphor bronze.
