I agree with Dave BUT at the next stuffing change, I'd measure again.
Please note that for the first few hours of running with the new stuffing it is better to be on the LOOSE side and drip more than be too tight.
Then, every few hours of running, you can gently tighten up to your final setting.
(dripping 4-8 per min when running in gear)
PS - Nice use of the RESCUE TAPE!
