Wrong crank/wrong bearings!

The crank should be machine ground and new bearings fitted to suit the new grind.

as above 

probaly has undersize bearing shells and a std size cranck , or cranck ground to 1st undersize and 2nd undersize bearings.

find a frendly engine shop or machenist and ask them to measure the journals  then peel the shells out and see what size they are,  another option is plastigadgue
