So I don’t know, I’m watching you measure the bearing with the bore gauge and that’s great but I grew up putting mopars and chevys together and I was always of the understanding that you tighten the bearings in the rod once and never twice. We would measure clearance by deflecting the rod or tilting it and getting an angle to let us mathematically figure the assembled clearance. If you tighten the bearing in twice you could cause it to be spun later. I have also built engine using the double bearing set method, crush the first new set and then measure, discard and then put in the second set for race, no spun bearings this way. Of course your way may be just fine too.
