He is only talking about his Rod bearings here.
I have done this on many of my motors right off the bat since it cuts down on both the Bearing speed ( heat reduction ) and the need for oil volume at the same time.
It also allows for a nice fat strength increasing radius to be ground in from the journal to the Crank cheek.
Just make sure during mock up assembly that you do not have to narrow the rod Bearing to clear this now bigger radius.
