The better way to do the input pilot is to use the BBC bearing, as shown. But the other two can be used w/minimal machine work. Like they say, "down & dirty". But to do it 'right' requires the crank to be removed or at least the engine. | The better way to do the input pilot is to use the BBC bearing, as shown.

| + | ==Pilot bushing to torque converter interference== | ||
| + | The crankshaft should be checked for the presence of a pilot bearing before installing a torque converter. In some cases, the bushing might protrude far enough to interfere with the installation of the torque converter. If the engine and transmission are already installed, removal of the pilot bearing might require the transmission to be removed or the engine and transmission removed as a unit. | ||

| + | The image below shows a pilot bushing that is NOT going to interfere with the converter, as the bushing is below the area occupied by the converter. | ||
