My understanding is you will need this tool to size and align the bushing to your engine if you want to do it right.

How do these bushings cope with the kind of acid they use for stripping chrome?
I'm about to do so, as the chrome's flaking off under the nose, and thinking of leaving it alloy or powder coating it. Mentally I was prepared to replace it but if I can get away without doing so, I would.
I put a Shovel cam cover in and it bubbled up badly ... I think it was the oil feed pipe rather than the bushes but am not sure.
Thanks.
