Install the insert sets then plastigage each journal. Swap the largest reading with the smallest until you get them fairly even.

Just make sure the inserts are clean, no damage. I wouldn't suggest polishing them.

Plastigage is available at auto/tractor parts stores. Get a stick of .001 to .003 inch - not expensive. $3 - $4, don't remember. One stick should be all you need.
