The inside diameter shrinks as the OD is compressed to go into the housing. Some bushings are made oversize deliberately to allow for that shrinkage, but a slightly out-of-round hole will sometimes create a tight spot. Piston pin bushings do the same thing quite often. They're a slip fit over the pin before they're pressed into a rod, but need honing after they're installed. Jerry
