that is were I ended up. when I started with all std bearings the rods were .0035 which was pretty loose for me, especially on new everything. the mains were tighter but were fine if it was a street motor. the rod throws were cut .001 smaller than any other crank I have here. all the rods were dead on the same except the one for some reason.

Very typical for aftermarket stuff. I wouldn't waste the time worrying about the rod side clearance. You have plenty even on the tight one.

or on a Monday morning ...
But like said I've talked to a hundred machinist over the years and most would rather have Scat over a lot of other crank makers. The last Eagle forged crank I bought had to be cut 10/10 because it was so screwed up. I'm sure it could have been less but I wasn't going to get into special bearing and such. I wont even get into the balance that needed to be corrected.

I'll let you know in a couple weeks. I just dropped off 2 scat 4" cranks and rods for the 2 408 Mopar small blocks at Opel Engineering last week. I ran a Scat in my 392 Stroker Hemi with no problems for 80K miles It was perfect out of the box, and balanced easily.
