they arent going to turn just one journal on that crank. they all need to be turned then have the crank rebalanced otherwise your going to have more problems. and if the crank is the least bit chewed up new bearings are nothing more than a band aid with bad adhesive it wont last long and will be knocking again. take the crank to a machine shop and let them look at it. its cheaper to fix it right now than to have to do it all a second time.you would get oversized bearings its a standard thing the crank will either be cut .010 under or .020 under or .030 under i dont like cranks cut more than .010
