They were .003 out of round. I know their V8 stuff is great, we run their cranks all the time and they are always nice. The rods I had were for a B16 and not only were the journals out but they were also 16-30 grams different between the 4, which is sort of expected but still you get my point. This was also a while ago, 4+ years ago, maybe they changed.

Maybe I got a set that was one of the assumed good and didnt quite get inspected as well as the rest, idk, but for the money why not just get Manley's. I mean they are about 20-50 bucks more and you wont need to even balance them.
Since your a machinist how good would you say ls rods shot peened and balanced to 7800rpms be safe for?Most say ls rods can rev to 8k is the limit with stock rod bolts.
