Intermediate Shaft Bushing - High Performance CNC Machined
We now offer our new HIGH PERFORMANCE intermediate shaft bushings. Unlike the standard bushings everyone else is selling which are made from powdered metal, these are FULLY CNC MACHINED from a solid piece of brass. We helically machine the top of these to funnel the oil to the oil pump shaft reducing oblong wear, expecially at HIGHER RPM's which helps to greatly increase the amount of oil available to the gear. We also machine extra oil slots inside the bore area, and these are large enough for oil to easily enter which helps them to also act as a reservoir. These improvements are all visible in the picture. An important note, these are for COUNTERCLOCKWISE rotation only, so they CAN NOT be used in small blocks or reverse rotation boat engines. There is no specific rotation or "clocking" needed when installing. A great improvement which helps with longevity, especially if you are running a billet roller cam and/or a high volume oil pump, both of which put extra stress on the gears. Don't forget to order our 200-1205 Installer/Reamer tool (available on our tools and supplies page) if you are installing one of these yourself.

Intermediate (distributor) Shaft Bushing Installer and Reamer Tool
This custom made tool works perfectly to install your intermediate (distributor) shaft bushing into your engine block. Just insert the bushing onto the end of the tool, lower the tool and bushing into the block, and guide the bushing into the block hole. Then drop the round collar down into the distributor hole, which will center and guide the tool. Then tap the end of the tool with a hammer, this will drive the bushing into the block perfectly straight and evenly. You'll hear the sound change once the bushing bottoms out into the block. Then thread the large nut down onto the tool until it's snug against the collar. Then hold the adjusting screw from moving with a 3/8" wrench or a crescent. Then tighten the large installation nut, and this will pull the reamer tip up through the bushing, ensuring it is properly sized. After this, your intermediate shaft will drop right into the bushing with no problems. Another great big block Mopar specific solution from 440 Source at a fraction of the price you can find it elsewhere!
