Does anyone have any experience repairing damaged gear pump journals, which ride on bronze sleeve bushings?

Machine the journal until it true again, remove minimal amount of material to accomplish this, make a new bronze sleeve bushing to fit the new shaft with the proper clearance. Usually .001" per inch of shaft diameter is the clearance.
