Engine Tear-down and Babbitt-prob.
Engine Tear-down and Babbitt-prob.
I lately opened the engine, which was in my car when I first bought it . Engine still was running, but I took it off the car (years ago) as it was slow, tired and powerless . Engine was stored in my garage ever since and now I managed to tear it down. Pistons look good (but will need new rings) Cylinders look good and honing is in good shape I found all valves and everything around completely gone. 3 valves (original–style) bent; None of them tight nor dense. All valve-guides loose and “gone” Funny , as engine was reworked earlier. They used 4 different types of valve-springs (what they found in their shop, I guess) They used hardened valve-seats ( I like this - will just have to clean that …) They used adjustable Tappets (double-lock) Change to new style-valves will not be a prob, i guess ( I hope) Now my problem : Engine was running quiet and without bearing-noises but now I found the center main-bearing (just the lower part of the Babbitt) to be defective (Find pics attached ). Is that a production-problem of pouring the Babbitt or what happened here? Please come back with suggestions how to solve that prob. I guess you wouldn’t reuse ? ( I do not intend to reuse). Thank you very much in advance. Christoph (btw - Please keep in mind that I am located in germany) |
