Greetings, 
         If I might be permitted a polite "Duh".......  What does "work" 
mean??
        "Making it work"  might only mean making sure a note sounds when a 
key is pressed.  I thought what was being requested was info that would allow 
the action to be regulated to optimum condition.  Rarely will one set of specs. 
optimize all pianos of a given brand, so there is a requirement for finesse to 
get the most out of these actions.  This is qualitatively different from 
simply making an action "work".  
Regards,
