On my Scat crank build, it's really close between the rear counterweight and the hardened oil pump drive. It appears to be less than .100", but I'm not sure how to check it. Is there a safe minimum?

"Hitting" was the wrong word, "Rubbing" may be more what I had in mind. Keep in mind this has engine has almost been disassembled since Paul put it together. I never did hear why the poly locks were adjusted at such different heights.
I have all the confidence in Paul. I'm not dissing him at all. No doubt he knows what he is doing. It just one of those things. I'm sure he wishes he was there to check this personally.
