Re: Babbit woes
Pictures would help!
If the caps were not tinned, you can pull babbitt easy.
If they were tinned, could been a bad job, as many Guys ( By all the you tube videos ) have tinning flux on the cap, and the babbitt will not stick 100%, as it has oxidized.
Or the cap was tinned OK, but many times, in the you tub videos, the cap, or mandrel was the wrong temperature, as when the two meet, they will not bond.
If the block, and rear cap is cast, if I had pictures, I could tell if they were peened.
