Only thing i can think off is either something between case and shell or the disaster of a bent crank, i have built engines with all black shells with no rotational problems

Usually you find the collar more worn than the bushes, the early one is still available, but bloody expensive, the later one is not available but you can use the early one, preferably with the bolt having a grease nipple at each end rather than the one in middle of swing arm
