That puppy is all over the place. Someone did a piss poor job resizing the rods to have that much variance. Can only cut it to the highest piston.

No (assuming you mean .005) at best it will help head gasket sealing.

a set of scat I beam rods with arp bolts is under 400 bucks if resized rods are causing the irregularities... then you get into balancing, etc so you have a decision to make
