Yes, Jacques, the fluting should be fully hidden inside the stem. I think the tip is also hardened, or at least a different temper than the stem.
Mariano's rod has an added spring washer which is not original. Often, as the fuel pump begins to fail, or perhaps the cam lobe on the camshaft gets worn, a washer is added to increase the stroke of the fuel pump. Doesn't fix the root of the problem!
