Rod side clearance
 
While assembling my forged BP, I noticed that I might be out of spec for rod side clearance per the rod manufacturer. Here are my numbers:
1 - .006in
2 - .006in
3 - .008in
4 - .008in

Manley instructions state: "Side clearances on both rods should be a minimum of .015" to a maximum of .025" per pair."
Mazda instruction state: .0043" to 0.103" limit of .012" which seems I am in spec.

Since the engine has already been balanced, I would like to not have to send it back to my machine shop.
Having a hard time deciding what to do. What are people running for their side clearances?
For reference I'm doing a 350whp turbo build on this engine.
