Used Plastic-guage on rods on super c --now what .006

Cold here lots of snow coming. Tried plastic guage
on the rod bearings, shows .006 on card. I have good oil presure, just thought I'd check it anyway. Oil pressure pegs meter when started. Then drops to around 25 lbs when warmed up a lot.
Do I need new bearings, If so how much oversize
do I order. This was the first time I've ever used
plastic gauge, but sure looks to of squished out to the .oo6 mark using .002-.006 plastic size piece. All so what should the torque be on the rod nuts. Any suggestions would be nice.
happy new year.
