I'm saying that there are other things that can make noises other than a spun bearing, so just be sure what it is that is making the noise.

In order to get the right sized bearings, your crank would have to be mic'ed and it would need to be smooth as well. After being beaten with a rod, I doubt it would still be as smooth as it needs to be.

Already told you to get a stethoscope and make certain of what your problem is, before you go ahead and take it all apart.
People that think that you can just swap bearings and you'll be fine don't take in consideration that oil clearances are very precise, that the crank needs to be very smooth, and that the rod may possibly have taken a beaten as well.
Rod knock (if that is your deal) is a big problem in terms of its fix.
Getting another engine is often the best fix.
