Phil Wood spindles...
So I bought my gf a BB (my LBS gave me a great deal on a Phil Ti spindle they had collecting dust). I told them what size I needed (110.5 Campy Taper), I go in to pick it up and one spindle is obviously longer than the other. I ask him if it's asymmetrical, and he tells me it's not.
I know phils are designed to have about 5mm of adjustment room, is that what I'm seeing?
Please skewl me on teh pwils.

one side is longer than the other, or you got two spindles? Measure with a ruler for good measure.
Rule of thumb, long side goes to the driveside.

but the spindle is symmetrical in your hand outside the bottom bracket shell, sans bearings? If it is, then it means your bearings aren't seated against the cups properly. Undo and try agiain.

According to the Phil Wood specs, the Campy taper 110.5 mm spindle is supposed to be symmetrical:
