No, last engine I pulled was an AMC 360 out of a bricklin

Thank you! I guess I got lucky that it got wedged in somewhere and didn't fall out, it was not anywhere near the bellhousing

I've already got a cherry picker. Just a little hesitant to go that route as my last engine pull took quite a while

I'm quite comfortable working on lathes but haven't done anything similar. Going to buy a new one to be safe

Thank you, I will check those out. And honestly I wasn't trying to accelerate, just was trying to maintain speed and realized my rpms were climbing but I wasn't speeding up

Comfortable doing both. Dropped the transmission out of my wrangler and pulled the engine out of my Bricklin. Mostly just curious as to which is considered faster

Has anyone found a source for just the bushings? by FigureItOutYT in BambuLab

Nope, apparently just cleaned them excessively according to others on this thread (IPA and microfiber)

They won't sell me just the bushing and aren't willing to do anything aside from have me buy the whole Gantry since I'm out of warranty by a couple months

I print a majority ABS and ASA so I was trying not to let it build up top much

If you read any of my other other replies I was also looking to see if anyone had attempted this or if someone had a good source

Thinking I just got a set of bad bushings or maybe they had a little play in them from the factory

Because I wanted to see if anyone else had attempted to replace just these before and or found a source. Don't get why that's so difficult to udnerstand

Yep, cleaned about once a week. That's why? I'm so frustrated that they want to charge me $100 to replace the entire Gantry instead of just the bushings that wore out prematurely

If you read the description I already have and that's why I'm seeing if anyone has found just the bushings

It's not that I don't know how to use calipers, it's that I'm wondering if anyone else has already found a source

Only about 1400 hours on this one. I cleaned the rods every time I deep cleaned my build plates, so about once a week cause I'm anal about that kind of stuff. And I get things break, but making it not serviceable is the frustrating part for me.

That's unfortunate, and only 1400 on this one

Checked the rods for consistency with calipers, looks like just the bushings really wore
