Well, here's what I would do. Look at all the journals, if they all look nice, and the engine wasn't makeing any noise when I took it apart, they you are probably good. Take a piece of crocus cloth the width of the journal, wrap it around the journal. Take a piece of string and wrap it around the cloth a couple of times. Then roll the cloth around the journal with the string a few times to polish it. After doing this through the whole crank, drop it in the engine and plasigauge it. Your clearances will probably be on the wide side. That's OK. I think race motors aim for .002 to .0025" so if you come up with .0015 your fine, even leaning on .002.
