It doesn't look standard to me but the last time I put a pilot bearing in a Ford was around 1992.

The bushing houses the needle roller bearing flush. (Probably should be called a cage bearing maybe?)

But, if one were to put the bushing and bearing into the end of the crank it WOULD NOT go flush. The bushing is about 1/8" longer than the hole in the end of the crank. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal or if my forged crank has some funnyness going on.
