Your rod should be 1.617 wide on the Rod portion, below the web of the Rod.
Make sure you have your Rods are checked for Alignment, twist, Bend, and Off set, before you take any off, if any.
Never use a file to remove thrust Babbitt, use self stick No. 80, on a very flat surface. Then take the Rod and lay it flat, and go in circles
