Buy the bronze bushing.
I agree about using a bronze bushing, though we've always used the roller in performance BBCs. The one that came out of the crank measures 1.061-1.064", the O'Reillys bronze is 1.092-1.096", the Jegs roller is 1.093-1.099". I'm supposed to bang squeeze .031"? I don't think a big hammer and a running start down hill would do it.
Bruce at Show Cars said he's heard this a few tymes and always suggests a machine shop trip. The truck motors are common for hi-perf applications, so why doesn't someone offer a solution for this? My brother's '58 Impala 409 passenger block used the common off the shelf pilot bushing. Sheesh!
