Pauter rod in spitfire 1300 block

["Brad Kahler" <brad.kahler@141.com>]

Amici,

For the latest incarnation of Susan's race engine we had ordered in 
a set of Pauter billet rods.  To make a long story short it appears that 
the big end diameter might be a little on the small side and what 
makes the situation even worse is one of the number 2 rod bolt 
heads hits the webbing on the block by the dip stick.  

Since we can't talk to Pauter until monday we're wondering if 
anyone else has run into these problems using their rods?

Has anyone had experience grinding metal from this area of the 
spitfire block?  

Brad
