SR Small end bushes

[forestlander]

Fitting new small end bush on Lister SR 1, Does it have to be reamed out after fitting, and if so what clearances to the gudgeon pin are needed. I have original manuals and parts lists, but these subjects are not mentioned in them.

Yes, the fit needs to be checked once pressed in. I could not find the spec in my literature but the specs for  pin fit are very close. With no numbers to go on the fit is by feel. The pin should slide in the bushing with finger pressure  with no dicernible slop. This is hone work, not reamers.
