[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 167347, member: 21529"] Boo!:( Yeah if the bearings are at an angle then the sleeve will bind up & yes they don’t move very much but that is precisely the reason you want them to be free -as the rollers will be acting as plain bearings which will suck. Or more likely the inside of the bushes & the bolts. If this was an old boiler I would suggest getting some phosphor bronze bushes pushed in there & you could bore them straight in situ, run the sleeves & add a dirty great grease nipple while you are at it. On such a trick new bike, it is worthwhile to get it as new. Try calling these guys who make after market units again & you might not strike the time when everyone has gone to lunch & the boy answers. Alternatively you could get the rocker arm bored & a straight sleeve pressed in place for the bearings to slip into. Don’t know if there is enough meat for this. Take it to a competent engineering shop & ask. [/QUOTE]
