I just did a 15 hour inspection of the rocker arm bushing job on my
2200 Jabiru, and all looks well. I had put some 2-3 hour trips on it
to try to get time built up so I'd have a chance to inspect it before
a much longer planned trip. The wear pattern looks good. I expected
to see a little more oil when I took the covers off, because I had
drilled out the oil delivery tube fitting orifice from .059" to .
063", but this didn't exactly flood the rocker area with
oil...enough, but not to the point of robbing the rest of the engine
of oil, to be sure.
The valve clearance setting had to be adjusted, but I expected this
due to a seating-in of the new bushings on the rocker shafts. I had
swapped the shafts across the engine so I could start fresh on a new
portion of the shaft. I'll check the clearances again in another
10-15 hours, just to be sure the clearances don't loosen again.

Thanks, Peter. With luck, this'll hold up well. Wish I knew why the
originals didn't...gremlins, maybe. : )
