Thanks to rs-vic for adding another data point on faulty bearings. I've got a set of Glyco 3.0 SC rod bearings on the shelf from S. Africa, purchased from Pelican, that i'll measure when I get a set of rods. But i'm pretty sure those will be placed in the "circular file" too.
You can get the Clevite AA bearings here at Pelican. Pelican identifies them as part number 930-103-147-15-M987. M987 is the supplier designation for Automobile Associates.

The ARP instructions are usually pretty good and i'm surprised they don't make any mention of the domed/unthreaded tip side of the stud being inserted into the case.
