I wouldn't worry about it, more likely the 1 gram minimum significant figure with the scales, they could be 516.499g and 516.500g, your scales would read 516 and 517.

Conversely one could be 515.5001g and the other 517.499, again your scales would read 516 and 517

I can't imagine why there would be any intention to have rods of different weights because of the potnetial in balance on the crank. you can buy sets of weight matched rods so they are all the same.

I wouldn't worry about it bud.
