So is the problem the block is too long or it gets dirty or just a bit rough at the ends?

The issue appeared to be with needing to rough up the metal a bit.  It looked clean and pristine to me when I removed it.  I just used a bit of fine sandpaper on it and a file and roughed it up and put it back.  I wish there was a better measure of "roughing it up"...indeed, I worried that I may have gone overboard.  In any case, it's good to go!
