<VV> pilot bearing/bushing

[BBRT]

IMHO, pull the bearing, oil the bushing well, and install. Make sure it is 
all the way in.

.  Before I quit I found that the engine has a pilot bearing, and that my 
replacement is a bushing.... any advice concerning this?  Is the bearing 
much better then a bushing, particularly from a performance standpoint?

The bearing currently in the engine probably does not have many miles on it, 
but it the shaft has probably four or five thousandths of play when I slide 
it in and wiggle it.

I need to know if I really need to replace the pilot bearing, and if I do 
should I install the bushing or order another bearing?

Thanks!
