Shitty ordering luck or what? Aluglide vs. Duraglide

I think I remember something about Clevite going from the tri-metal to a alum based bearing and people werent as happy. Doesnt answer your question but I thought I would throw that out there.

Well I put the bearings on the rods tonight. One of the bearings in the package was pressed into another one. Almost as if a bearing was pressed into a rod cap. Had a heck of a time pulling them apart. When I pulled them apart, I noticed a small scratch. It's not very deep at all. You can just barely feel it with your finger nail. I went directly over it a few swipes with some 800 grit and then cleaned with brake cleaner.

I'll attach some pictures. Does anyone think this is ok to run?

Thanks.
