And mine are 5.7" so i should not have ANY troubles... I am beyond pissed at the machine shop.

You may still have problems with the 5.7" rod. With the 6" rod, mine wasn't even close to having clearance on two of the three spots they clearanced.

Rod length has nothing to do with clearance. It's the big end of the rod that is the problem.

Even if they did have to clearance it 700$ is way to much for somthing that takes a hour tops.
