Pauter Ratio Rockers: Installed and Working?I have partial information
available on this:

I had a very well-respected local machine shop re-do an engine for me, and
add the ratio rockers which I bought from the group purchase.  They found
the push rods to be correct, both as to length and trueness.  That engine is
not yet installed, however, so no driving feedback for a few more weeks.

  Subject: [Syncro] Pauter Ratio Rockers: Installed and Working?

  I'm wondering if anyone has installed the Pauter rockers with the pre-cut
pushrods which were aquired as part of a group purchase earlier this year.
Someone had a problem with the pushrod length, if I recall correctly. Was it
resolved? Did anyone else go ahead with the installation? Any other
problems?

  I'm going out of the country on a ten day business trip next month, and
during that time my wife will drive the syncro to Maine and I'll fly
directly there to meet her. I'd like to install the kit before I go, but
there would be little time to get any experience with it before I leave.

  I do not want to have her driving from DC to Maine and ending up with
serious problems while I am out of the country. If there is any question
about reliability with this mod, I'd rather wait and do it at a time I'd be
able to make sure everything is on the up and up. I would install the Aussie
chip at the same time.

  PS I sent a similar message from my blackberry about 6 hours ago and it is
not showing up. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

  Thanks
