Thanks for weighing in, Tom. I take it you disagree with Huyett that the taxonomy of bearings and bushings is somewhat ambiguous? Huyett and other bearing outlets have convinced me that classification is not cut and dried, so I'm backing off from my position. The Solution's design could be described as a type of bearing. Or a type of bushing. From here on in I will call it a bearing for the sake of clear communication.
Good points about oil analysis. Analyzing the sample I'm sending in can detect wear metals, fuel dilution, and other contaminants that indicate potential issues and reveal whether the engine has any ongoing problems, which is my primary concern.
