Correct. I trimmed them so there would be pressure @ the sleeve & minimal contact @ the bushing so the arm would resist fore/aft shifting. Basically the sleeve was longer than the bushing which didn't allow full thread engagement on the cross-shaft nut as well as a gap between the bushing & retaining washer.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
