Thoughts on this bushing? Keep or replace?

For DIY non-performance build, I regularly read that it is fine to reuse bushings providing fit and appearance is good.

Despite this, I also see many videos saying the pump cover PTFE bushing in particular must always be changed.

I don't want to change this bushing because it's a tense process with my questionable "tools". It looks flawless to me and the converter fit is pretty much as good as any I've seen in videos.

 

If it looks good, and hub fitment is good you feel like.....send it

I would however take some scrotchbrite and clean up those witness marks in the pump pocket there.

 

Original looks good and yes with questionable tools I would just reuse .

 

I reused one that looked just as good in my last build. It worked.

 

Thanks everyone!
