Robert-
Unfortunately this is common. Take some time and hand lap the two pieces and
this will remove some of the "fret" marks. The ones that are very deep will
of course not be touched and you will have to make a judgment call about
whether or not to replace either piece. Once the surfaces are mated, not only
will they fit better (less movement=less fretting), but the now more fully
engaged surfaces will help power transfer thru the joint decreasing the load
on the key.
Stronger keys (full length tool steel) will also help the "cause" as long as
you have it apart.
Seen way too much of diffs lately...
