Make sure you have the correct radius ground on the brgs or you may be looking at a broken crankshaft one day.

If you are talking factory specs don't you need someone who can build up the journals with metal deposition and then turn them down to factory specs? Otherwise when grinding you would by definition be making them smaller in diameter.
