The bushing being thinner is a benefit in this case since it makes it lighter (it's about half of the weight of the Straub bushing), any weight you can remove from the rocker will aid in control of the valvetrain. The CHE bushing also has a spiral oil groove machined in it as well.With that being said. Is it necessary to go that far? I don't know yet, I'm trying both kits on 2 different engines and so far they've both held up better than the needle bearing style upgrades.
