Congrats Walter.

Hay,I was looking at Pauters website,I noticed that he's making his rockers without needle bearings or bushings for shaft support; just aluminium rockers to shaft. I wonder why he has not stated why. This is a sharp turn from needle bearings, bushings, to nothing

What is your choice for rods?
How about cooling system, upright?
Nice work Walter

They are not without bushings and not 'just aluminium rockers to shaft' as you stated. What gave you that idea?



I already have the rods, they were a test set from R&R through Jake. Here coupled to a set of 77,50m pistons from the 1200T project (testfit for the 20mm pins):

Good morning Walter, sorry I mis read pauters web site, only the rockers using needle bearings, will not have any bushing just hardened aluminum.

Those rods look plenty strong enough.
