Default Rebuild time

Long story short 99% sure main bearing went bad and I planned on rebuilding the motor and camming itanyways in two months so I already have the money.I'm tearing it apart this weekend and getting it to a machine shop monday or tuesday.
I'm hoping they can turn my crank so I dont need a new one.
I'm going with this rebuild kit.

Do I need my main bearing undersized at all? same with my rod bearing or do I want to keep those stock I want a 306 ?


I'm also putting in a new oil pump water pump timing chain and gears etc.

If you plan to reuse your crank it'll need to be turned......after which they'll tell you what it was turned too... probably .010 is what they'll do.
