It seems that this one is on a 2 year maintenance schedule :-(
It started squealing when we were coming back from the Grants Pass Healey
meet last year. When we got home I pulled the engine and greased it and all
was well until last weekend when it started squealing again.
Pain in the ass to pull the engine just to grease a pilot bushing.
Especially when it appears to be a temporary cure.
The last time this happened I seem to remember someone telling me that there
were two type of bronze bushings. One that was pre-oiled and did not need to
be greased and one that was not pre-oiled and needed to be greased.
