Sector Shaft bushings

So I finally bought new bushings for my V6 Ross box. The question I have is, the old bushings had the groove in them for the oil to get up around the shaft. The new bushings do not have the grooves. Should I use a Dremel tool and add some grooves or just not worry about it and install just as they are?

 

Dang, 38 views and no opinions. Guess I'll try to put some grooves in 'em.

If your new bushings are of the oilite type then you don't use the lube groove.

 

These weren't Oilite. Not sure why they didn't put the grooves in these. A Dremel made short work of it, and I feel better about them having them there. Thanks Walt.

Saw a video with Moses Ludel last week in which he talks about cutting the grooves in the bushings.
