When doing a bottem end rebuild, two things are critical; a machinest you can
trust who will tell you the undersize and will normally provide the bearings
for you ( this is not the time to go cheap, buy the good ones, this rules out
any third world product) and something I haven't seen mentioned which is
plastigauge to check the machinest work and make sure everything is within
tolerance.
