oil wedge is but .0024x thick (bearing clearance) yikes, if that moves a ring pack into an existing groove (that had the same bearing clearance, or more because its worn) My guess is if it were to move it any it would be <.0012 inches at that. (bearing clearance divided by 2 as in full circumference oil wedge), and that is within the .001~.005 compression ring clearance anyway. . Maybe someone that does shop work doing a rod bearing R&R on the same main bearings could measure deck height of a before and after rod bearing change.
