Hanley, a few quick responses:
I agree that engine misalignment was a major contributing factor and it is therefore critical that it be properly aligned after this exercise, including being centered in the shaft log.
Decreasing concentric layers or concentric tubes - that's not the way shaft logs were made. They were monolithic laminations and untapered.
Increasing the hose size to accommodate the shaft log creates a fit problem with the stuffing box.
My lengthy post was my nickel's worth, this is another $.02.
Out.
