Jim, I think the argument is that they're not ALWAYS in sync.  I believe that it was stated by several people that during running it's not uncommon for the two engines to sync up a majority of the time.

John,
Listen to the first 40 sec. of the OP's video. He says that it is incorrect to have the rods in the same visual position. I am saying that it correct and that is what i tried to point out in the video of the BB. It is also entirely correct to have the rods in any visual position in relation to one another.

Now, as far as sound is concerned, it is very common for the exhausts of the two simple articulated's engines to sync up where you only hear four exhausts per revolution. I have many recordings of this happening and for very long periods of time. So, yes this is true, despite what the naysayers think!
