Just my opinion, but if the bearings are already undersized, polishing the crank journals will give you excess oil clearance even if you put in new bearing shells of the same undersize. If the bearings are showing copper, they need to be replaced. And the crank should be reground to the next undersize. That's if you want to get any life out of the repairs.
