Re: 440 crankshaft

[kevin adams <kmotion45@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello gang, I have drilled th pilot hole for clearance only on assembled engines. Put a gm lage diameter bushing in the recess in the crank and use the pilot hole as a drill bushing and go! Use a drill with enough power to drive the drill bit and the drilled hole needs to be largr than the rans pilot.  Dorman brand oilite bushings work best.Find a part store or machine shop with a selection of bushings for choices.
