Problem after installing AMS gate selector bushing
I just got finished installing the bushing and after putting everything back together on the rocker arm, I ran into the issue of the 2 12mm bolts not lining up correctly with the threaded holes.
I've attempted to try either side first, hooking up the vertical bushing first, hooking up the vertical bushing last, reassembling the rocker arm, and readjusting the lock nut on the rocker arm. I don't feel like the gate bushing can be removed once it's set so I feel that that's out of the question. Not sure what I did wrong and I'm trying to get some suggestions/feedback. Have any of you guys ran into this issue?

Yea, I'm planning to try it again after work. Is possible to install the bushing in the wrong direction? Even then, it doesn't look like it should cause THIS much of a install issue.

Got it! Thanks guys.
Scott, I'm not sure if that was it but I ended up disassembling everything and cleaning it down again and then re-greasing everything. Torqued the nut and resat the entire assembly -Somehow it worked.

Yah sometimes you just have to work it in a little bit. The brass bushing is somewhat self lubricating so after moving a bit it will smooth out.
