One set of .030 rod bearings on a .020 journal and others OK?

I'm thinking oil starvation from whatever reason would have shown up at least a little on other journals?

Naw, impossible. See, longk ago we bought a 70 AToll Blue GTO with a rebuilt 400 that didn't run right. Motor needed the rear oil Galley Plug. We drove it awhile with lifter tappings for about 300 miles, even up hills. Well, i pulled motr and found STD bearings on 010 cut rod journals. New rod bearings and that motor ran hard until we, gulph parted it out to reuse motor in the 1st OO Judge resto.

Except that would increase clearance where my suggested .030 bearing on a .020 journal would tighten that bearing snug around crank journal.
