Does MBA in BS mean what I think it doe?, didnt know LSU was so up front about its program content. But seriously, getting back to Eds original post, I routinely apply methanol to all new bushings, just a drop and let it sit for a day. I find it will size the bushing, you may have to do some repinning but the end result is very stable, without this treatment I've had Tokiwa and S&S flanges that got very tight in the first few months after installation. Id much rather have them do that on the bench than after delivery...IMHO...
