Yea sorry the rod that comes out of the cylinder. I replace the seal and it still leaks so I got a new rod. Hopefully that fixes it.
Pmcg:
So for anyone with the same vacuum issues I solved it with a new KIPS rod Part#49046-1064 (mine was bent) I also had to replace the valve guide Part#49002-1062 The oil seal part #92049-1206 and the o-ring Part#92055-025. Probably worth ordering all 4 right out of the gate if you're having the same issue.
Bent Rod
Valve guide and the bad o-ring

I really would have bet against it being the rod. Luckily you posted your findings or id still be working with it. I do have a leak around the reeds despite new gaskets so I think I need a new boot as the old one has a bit of cracking but I think I'm going to need to put it in with yamah bond. any suggestions?

My order of installation
Yamabond
Cometic gasket
