I know the other way I measured is also correct so I really don’t know where the error was coming from. I have triple checked and I’m right around 0.0025” for all rods. Good to go!

I was going to say: usually the Clevite bearings have a 'larger' clearance.
I'm not sure why your measurements weren't adding up when measuring the bearing shells separately, however with the bearings in the rods and the bolts torqued, this is how they are going to live in reality, so it's the measurement to rely on.
Case looks awesome.
