slowly been rebuilding the Tiger of the last few weeks and are now reassembling the motor. Everything has gone ok but I have replaced the camshaft bushes (right-hand side so far) and according to the manual the new bushes require no further machining/reaming after fitting. Problem is there is no way the camshafts will fit in the bushes. With a digital vernier they are approx. .100" to small. I fitted the bushes by the manual, heated case to 100 - gently, carefully pressed new bushes in (not butchered with a big hammer). Any body able to advise if these DO need reaming?
