    you are gonna have to trash the rod that spun a bearing probably, maybe resize all of them to be sure about it though.

    so its ok to have a p72 rod cap on a p73 rod? in my books, if the rod cap is not the same cap that originally came with the rod, then the mating surface will never be the same possibly causing out of round or just plain not perfectly round, especially when itr's are turning on upwards to 9k. so basically i have a trashed set of itr rods with no rod end caps which = junk.... no way to machine them?
