eagle rods and srp pistons for d series problem

does any have this setup? or similar? when they installed the rods, they seem to rub against the sleeves. they said I have to get the rods grinded down. but why would they sell eagle rods for d series, if i have to end up grinding down?

Grind around the bottom of the sleeve so there is clearance if there is rubbage. Don't grind on the rod. Did they tell you up front you where going to have to modify things to run those rods? Are they the correct rods to be using?
