Didn't measure blue+blue because it's obviously going in the wrong direction of what we needed.

Edit:
Builds notes have some calculations on them regarding journal size and rod bore size, then at the bottom conclude: "Need approx 0.0830" shell."

I remember getting a call to ask me if BMW has any thinner shells. I looked into it and couldn't find any. At that point, we made the decision to send the crank out to resize the journals.
Aha, so the blues are +.001 and reds are .000. With that being the case I would only run red and red on the replacements then I would scotchbrite the back side pretty hard and call it a day should be able to get it to around .0017 like that.
