My only concern with an asymmetrical re-sizing is it may plastigage correctly even if out of round slightly. The result would be an extra thick oil film during operation between the crank and the bearing where the material is missing. You may be more prone to bearing failure as a result of normal operation. This is the devil's advocate position.
