Rod Side Clearance

O.k., yeah, another snag. I just switched over from an Eagle cast crank to a forged Scat crank. Problem is, when I reinstalled the Eagle Sir rods into the Scat crank, the rod side clearances were WAY too tight, as in no clearance. I fine filed the side of two rods, and gained a little, but did I sacrifice the rods? Have any of you had this problem? Do I need Scat rods to match the crank? It's a 408 Magnum that I am trying to put back together because I installed the top rings in backwards(if anybody can screw it up, it's me! lol). Please help. Ya'll always do.

Thanks,
Darren
