[SEL] Mogul 1HP main bearing bushes

[Graham Harris]

er,
ummm, excuse me, old engine question here...

Making new main bronze bushes for 1HP Mogul. Why do they have a setscrew to hold the bush in place. I mean, are these bushes made eccentric to allow for rotation to give wear adjustment then fix with the setscrew and locknut? Why wouldn't they just go for a press fit. The old ones needed pressing out.
