You can also make your own tool to do the job.
Get a piece of 1 inch square steel bar stock (or a bit larger if 1" is not available) that is a little longer than the OD of the crank flange. If your crank uses ½" hardware drill two 9/16" holes at opposite ends of the steel bar that line up with the two flywheel attaching bolt holes.
Get two set screws from McMaster, or wherever you buy you tools, that will screw into the crank bolt holes and allow you to slip the pilot bearing in place and then 1 inch square steel bar over it. Put on hardened steel washers (McMaster) and a grade 8 nut (McMaster) on each set screw.
True up the bar stock so it is parallel to the back of the crank and flat against the throwout bearing and begin tightening the nuts one nut at a time, one quarter turn at a time untill the pilot bearing is pressed into the crank and seated at the bottom of its register in the back of the crank.
Presto, Viola! You are done. Don't forget to lube the crank register and the pilot bearing OD. As a general rule of thumb a 0.001" press fit is adequate, a 0.0015" press fit is tight. A 0.002" press fit wil require chilling the pilot bearing 10˚C to 20˚C below zero and heating the back of the crank to expand the register.
The heating and cooling approach to installation is not recommended with the crank in the block. The heat will damage the
oil seal and you will have a leakage problem.
If the bearing is in fact 0.002" oversize, the right fix is to have a local machine shop take 0.001" off the OD. If it is not already chamfered, chamfer the leading edge of the pilot bearing to make centering and installation easier,and you will be good to go.
