Dave,

Probably so - that same machinist would have to also correctly bore the spindle/knuckle.

If anyone knows such a machinist/machine shop and has had it done. how much did it cost?
Also, what was the part number of the bushings?

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
