    Does anyone have an idea where to get the bushings for the rear main seal housing.

    that's not a bushing it's a glue to hold the bolts in the cover for the assembly line.

    usually i just bolt the oil pan on sans gasket and toss two rear cover bolts in just finger snug so the pan holds the pan gasket rails in alignment as you tighten the rear cover slowly and gently as it compresses the paper gasket while tightening in stages with relaxation time in between

    It's not glue. It's a plastic sleeve. I felt it was there to help position the cover better than bolts alone for the rear main.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
