Have you tried smoothing one side of the rod? On a 5/16th rod, you need to make one side smooth. To where it looks like a big "D". At least I had to with mine when I did my swap. The flat spot should point toward the head on the opposite side. So the pass. side flat spot will point towards the driver side head and vice versa. Give it a try! Good luck!
