Ok, so pulled out my calipers.
I got some differences in my readings (I'm not an expert on its use, especially for a critical measurement like this)
Put the caliper inside from 12-6:00 and then turned it 90 degrees to check 3:00-9:00. Did this for the bore and the rod/gear.
For the drive gear, I pretty much got 31.8 mm for both directions. For the drive shaft that fits that hole, I got 31.69mm
For the second bore I got 31.6 both directions and for the idler gear, I got 31.64.
When you put them in the bore there is a slight wiggle to them. Not knowing if that's right or not, it seems slight. Either way, they appear to be pretty round verses ovaled in my eyes.
