I sure that many of his builds seem fine,, we don't drive these cars too hard.
But unfortunately I am being honest in my evaluation and I actually feel bad about that.
Or should I have just run the crank .0045 off center on the center main, and the babbit loose and wiggly in the block, I'm not being smart................
The old guy loves the model A stuff.....oh well. I try to love him, but it is expensive.
I live in I F.
I've heard there is a fellow who does babbitt over in Idaho Falls. I thought he had retired.

The fellow who built my engine does both babbitt and inserts, but he leans more towards inserts these days.

I would not hesitate to take him another engine.
