Default Re: Main bearing/babit help

I see you still have some shims in the rear bearing. IMO: If you are just going to drive it a few times each summer, you could probably put it back together adjusting the clearances as you do and it would likely last a couple to many years if you keep the RPM's down. I suggest you study the rest of the components to see if they are worthy of reassembly or need attention. (As commented above...what condition is the center main in?)

Good Day!
