OK so I finally got the pump rod out- do not have anything more precise than a ruler but if 3.25 is correct lenght it is a strong 1/16 to 1/8 short and shows signs of wear on the end. Whats the verdict??
Is it a new rod or a reused original ?

Not sure if the shop replaced during rebuild, but I've put 32,000 miles on it in 5 years.

Yes replace it & not sure of the depth of the hardenening (assuming it is hardened on the ends) & there was a comprehensive thread on the best rod to get as some brand new rods ain't no good/won't last

pull the coil wire,have some one spin it a good few spins and see how much it moves,pushing the rod against the cam lobe with a finger. any wear marks on the side of rod to indicate how much movment it has been moveing? most likly nothing wrong with the cam,good to double check it while your there  go on the race board and ask which rod is best,they will know
