Is it true some years come with out piston pin bushings?
They just run the pin through the bored rod?

HTT search is your friend. Yes it's true. OEM Automotive has done it for years as well.

Thanx,
I am just try to win an argument (beer) and looking for a couple valid points of proof.

Being i do not own  twin cam , or the books,  but i have heard theey do not have rod end bushings from some valid sources.
However  proving this is being a challenge !

According to the Harley tech info for 2011 (Found on this site as a .PDF presentation) it was a running change on the 2011 models.
