I have cleaned the entire block with paint remover then with phos. acid and little stainless steel brushes, it will be clean before I put it together.
One of the photos is the old Babbitt,, one is the new.
They were quite different, is something wrong?

The first picture is of Lead Babbitt, I can tell by the color, and the sides of the broken pieces are porous, not consistent with Tin base Babbitt. The Babbitt was not peened at all ,I am thinking, or could have just been a bad attempt, because the porous look, to be a round hole rather then being flattened, which is not natural to just pouring. The broken pieces you have in picture one also, show no signs of oil grooving, and that would never fly. It was also poured to cold.
Picture two would be Tin base as you know, if original. I would need to see more shots, but is not of any importance.
