I did a set of tests before I did mine. After reaming, the fit was perfect. Half of the bolts were very difficult to push through with my hand. The other half had to be tapped lightly with a soft hammer to get them in. With the final installation, I spread varnish on the bolts and the fit was slightly easier since that acted as a lubricant.
