They list new, two piece wrist pin bushings for Oliver 60 their P.N. A828756 @ $9.76. I totally agree with John that one piece bushings are better, but don't know of any available for a 60 and I'm sure you'd be fine with these. I've used them before. I may have a used pin if you'd need one?   [Reply]  [No Email]

The 60 used the same set up. With that being said the man I am helping son is redoing a 60 engine as we speak. The machine shop installed new bushings and honed them to fit. It now has one piece bushings. Now in reguard to the wrist pins, he could use his old ones. I don't have my book handy to check pin diameter, but a lot of engines used common pin sizes. I can check after while and then I don't know if it will cross over to a pin that is still available but I can get you some numbers. My 2 cents worth. J.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Has plenty of oil pressure, so will probably check mains and rods while I'am in there. Bob F   [Reply]  [No Email]

In fact when I did this machine work for a living we even had .003 & .005 oversize pins available. Without looking I think the little 8N Ford engines also used an .875 pin. Parts for those engine are plentiful. I should measure one of the extra rods we have laying around and make a note of the bore in the eye of the rod. J.   [Reply]  [No Email]
