Roller or bronze pilot

Im halfway (hopefully) thru a t-5 swap in my 87 tpi and I was wondering what kinds of experinces they had with the bronze and roller pilot bearings before I bang in the bronze one that I have.

Same here... they've both worked fine for me over the years. I've seen both fail, and both last.

Go ahead and use what you've got, it's fine.
