Default Re: Babbitt bearing inserts

Here is a perfect example of insert bearing damage that can be caused by 1)bad machine shop, "improper clearance", 2)dirty oil, 3) magnetized connecting rods. This was a splash system.
I am pointing this out for the "pro insert" members of this forum as Babbitted bearings wouldn't cause this extreme in short order. This engine has low miles I believe from what the customer told me under 1000, if I remember right.
This was sent to us to do a regrind. This is a new counterweighted crank.
