Re:Crank Journal
A Crank journal is is a hole in which the journal of the crank sits in, there are also Main/Rod Bearings in this location. These holes keep the crankshaft aligned with the block.
Enlarging them will not give you any type of performance gain, I think you maybe getting confused by Bore Size, which is the size of the actual pistons. Larger bore size increases engine displacment (i.e 1.8l bored over to 84mm to a 2.0l) thus putting out more torque, and in some cases more hp.
Thats a simple explanation,
