Bristol 401-85C engine

Sadly, you may just have to have the crankshaft turned down to the .020 size to get the bearings you need. This will cause no harm to the crankshaft. First though, I would MEASURE what I have before jumping to any conclusions. You see, with a car that old, the very thing may have taken place years ago, and without measuring the throws, you may have to consider something else. Check the main bearings too. Just a suggestion before making any sort of move.
