I would not hone the bore in the block for fit as you have rightly indicated once metal is gone it's gone!.
I would machine the bush diameter for correct fit. (Note: aftermarket parts are always suspect for size.)
Hopefully you have the original bush that you can measure to determine correct diameter. Maybe take the parts to a machine shop and let them measure up for you?.
If you just hammer the bush in that will reduce the bore size of the bush and the part that goes into it may not fit!.
