CNC machined to tight tolerances that emulate the factory press fit on the bushings I.D and O.D. . The wide flat flange allows for a robust driving surface to press the bushing into the crankshaft.

Unlike the V6 pilot bearing method that is cut and installed backwards, this correctly places the seal on the clutch side protect the needle bearing from contamination as the factory intended. The other internet sourced method requires grinding the nose off the crankshaft that is designed to pilot the flywheel.

The bushing comes with a pre-installed new OEM pilot bearing as shown above.
