## Discrepancy

(CAN) PISTON ROD PURCHASE (NEW) AND RECEIVED - VISUALLY ACCEPTABLE.  PISTON ROD MACHINED INCORRECTLY FROM MCCAULEY - WHEN TRYING TO INSTALL BETA TUBE THREW THE PISTON ROD IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE TUBE ALL THE WAY IN. THE PISTON ROD INSIDE DIAMETER IS TOO SMALL AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF THE BETA ROD.  WE CHECKED OUR (NEW) INVENTORY AND FAILED A SECOND ROD WITH THE SAME ISSUES. (TC# 20101214008)
