Concerning the comment that all slant six cranks were drilled for the pilot bushing, that may or may not be true, but I know for a fact that all the slant six cranks that were drilled for a pilot bushing were not honed to size.
I have a cast slant six crank that was drilled but not honed, resulted in the pilot bushing compressing and losing clearance to the input shaft,,,

The early ones(pre 72) were all drilled and fitted with a pilot bushing at the factory. Every slant I ever took apart be it automatic or manual was like this . But,I only worked on the old stuff .I think of my 76 Aspen as modern and who knows what the end of the crank looks like in that thing.
