Snowman,
Odds are everything is okay and Mark has little to worry about in this regard.
However, I don't want to leave the impression that it's okay to assume everyone did their job from manufacturing to packaging to machining/rebuilding engine parts. Things happen.
For example, it'd be hard for me to believe that Glyco (or any other manufacturer) never had an incorrect bearing inserted into a box. Mark seems to have standard bearings, standard rod journals and seems to have decent "play" in the rod "drop" test, so the chances of having an oversize set of rod bearings is minimal. But what if the actual big end of a rod happens to be out of spec (too large) and the machine shop didn't check it? There wouldn't be enough bearing crush and Mark could soon have a spun bearing (Mark, you should check this dimension too).
I'm not usually this anal, but I think you have to force yourself to become "one with the sphincter" (that's engine zen-talk) or at least very thorough considering the cost of engine parts and potentially wasted time.
