I don't know, I thought Moly lube was just for the breaking of flat tappet lifters. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

No, I never had it ground. I was just polishing it because it had a spun bearing (which I should probably have just gone and bought a reman crank anyway or regrind this one), but it looks like even though the wear isn't too bad, it's still took off quite a bit of metal.

Oversize is just if you get the connecting rod bored out and undersize is just if the crank is reground. check out this link if you want http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Engine/terms.htm

It's actually a lot larger than what the plastigage is showing. I know the caliper is a rough estimate, but it shouldn't be that low and I got that figure twice which makes it .0266" smaller than the smallest production limit. I believe the plastigage is just showing some compression because of me holding the cap in place and which is why that plastigage doesn't go any higher because it's inaccurate and that's the largest one I had. I'm not sure which decimal you are talking about, but I've looked it over and they look accurate.
