There is something called "line boring". That's when the main bearing journals have been beat out too large, and the main bearing caps have to be taken out and a little shaved of the bottom of the caps. Then a big "line boring" machine runs a cutter through the main bearing caps after they are bolted back down, and machines them back to spec.
