: I am in the process of rebuilding my engine. I have read several articles and have seen refrences to Babbit. One article from the restorer said to have the Main Berings poured with good quality Babbit?????
: I also read not to dip the block in cleaning solution because of the babbit? I have looked at the bearings and they look normal.
: 1. Do I need to buy new bearings?
: 2. Can I used the old ones and put new Babbit?
: 3. How to you pour it, do you pack it or what?
: 4. I have several parts books, and have not seen it. Where do you get it?
: Tahnks in advance for your help with this bafling subject!!!
: Tony
: We have recommendations on good babbit shops in north western Ohio and in Arizona, how about one in the northeast or more specifically, New Jersey area? The winter project this year is an engine rebuild! Thanks.
