Mick they don't get any hotter than the oil, and there's nothing new about doing this- offset bushes were used in the UK for yonks until they started selling cheap hi-lift forged rockers.
I see some people there and in US are now fitting these bushes and claiming to get a 1.5:1 ratio- it just isn't so. Not enough metal there to do it.
If you are worried about whether they can move, I pressed one out once because I overbored it- they are just as hard to press out as the solid ones were to press in.
I bore all the rockers to clean up first, then make the bushes to have .001" interference fit.
I brought my rocker bushes as "1.5 ratio rocker bushes" from a guy on ebay. They are definatly not 1.5, maybe 1.29 if I am lucky.
Doc, could you bore the rockers out more, before you bush them? that way you could offset em more?
