A dial caliper (or even a digital) is only good for a SWAG. You need to make measurements of the journals you can reach for wear and taper down to a tolerance of .0005" or so. Unless the crankshaft is out of the block, it's difficult to get that accuracy on the main bearings. Drop me a PM and I can give you the exact measurements you're looking for.
