In my opinin, nothing wrong with the stock bronze oilite bushing...it could take a beating and handle dust and dirt. Correct me if I'm wrong here....but doesn't the roller bearing setup install in the flywheel, not the crank recess ? If so, that puts the roller bearing much closer to the output shaft bearing (307/308), and then there is not much room for the input shaft to have any wiggle room...so to speak. So...what I am suggesting here, is that those little rollers are taking up a lot of load, from your output shaft, and they are in a dirty environment. Bronze anyone ?
