The bushing should be oilite or other similar prelubed material. Do not use plain bronze bushing as it will not retain oil and provide long term lubrication. The loctite should not be necessary but is an option. Make sure to soak the bushing in oil and then clean the outside very well before installing. If there is an oil film on the outside of the bushing or the crankshaft bore then the loctite will not be effective.

Chipper,

I got the bushing from the Filling Station so I hope it is an oilite. I'm going to start soaking the bushing after I leave here. Within a couple of days I'll dry off the outside of it and
loctite it in with a small dab.

Thanks everybody your help is much appreciated! Bob
