He's being too cautious, it's common practice to bore the small end to 1.160" to bush for a 1.094 pin which makes the bushing wall thickness .033". I've run lots of them on the street that way.

Some people run floating pins without a bushing, when doing this it's best to dip the small end in molten tin and then hone to size.
