How do you restore the fit?
You run a bead of MIG weld round it, then grind it back... and resize the rod end.


Mmmmm....fraught with risk, I've seen a few rods break the little end off from doing that very thing.......It inevitably distorts the aligment of the rod as well which will also need to be corrected........

One engine ended up with electrical problems as a result, the rod knocked the alternator off.......
