59-A fuel pump push rod bushing

[V8guy]

Tearing down a 59-A for rebuild when I removed the fuel pump push rod
bushing the last person working on it removed about 1/2 inch from the
bottom. More oil to the rear cam bearing-? I know it has been apart before
cylinders are .030 over. Any ideas should I shorten the new one-?
Thanks for any input.

Is the oil passage uncovered?

Is the oil passage uncovered?

Thought that it was the 8BA that had the oil passage to lubricate the pushrod
thru the bushing, not the 59A. ?

The whole bushing should be installed.
It's possible someone installed a non Ford bushing in the past.
