I'm glad you saw the humor but an underlying truth is what makes most humor work.
Purhaps you meant patience not tolerance. I have all the tolerance in the world. I never said "you" didn't have the right the experiment. Pay your money and take your chances as you see fit.
I would admit "I have the patience of a 4 year old. "

Since both case halves are machined flat with all contacting surfaces even, sealant must be applied to ALL surfaces to keep the case halves square to one another when torqued. I'm sure it can only be measured in thousandths of an inch, but measured never the less.

This really is a non issue. The case will flex enough upon tightening to compensate for the few .001" clearance difference. Additional stability / shear strength is the true purpose for gluing the webs.
