Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
So has anyone tried boring an A block to take babbitt inserts like the chevy4's did? Sounds like a good compromise between poured bearings and inserts.

Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
Concerning the comments on the purpose of locking tabs on insert bearings, the new Chrysler V8's do not have locking tabs, they depend on crush fit to hold the insert in place, and I have seen them spin the inserts.

Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
Yeh, seems a dumb move to delete the locating notches, ( I won't called them 'locking tabs'), the notches are to locate the inserts not only sideways, but to accurately locate the oil hole.
Any hamfister then could drop the inserts in anywhere and bolt it up. |

Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
There is an advantage to babbitt shell inserts, no requirement for block heating and complex pouring when the complex pour can be done overseas and out in the middle of nowhere workshops can place the insert years later. (Overcomes the only problem i can find with poured babbitt)
Just when chrysler was having early engine deaths they deleted the locating notch? i can't understand why.

Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
when should Babbitt should peened? warm or cold? Make more than one pour, and peen after each pour? If you did not peen at all, wouldn't the Babbitt fall out line-boring?

Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
Hey Herm,
Great info/instructions and pictures that you are passing on here, thanks for sharing ! You go to front of line for instant ID of nos Ford Caps ! You also posted pics of other caps that made me remember some 'caps' that I had put in a box half century ago. Here they are, main caps. Heavy and think made of bronze/brass (?). Quiz; What are they for/from ? Never mind the dirt on Babbitt faces , from sitting forever . Last edited by hardtimes; 03-26-2015 at 06:16 PM. Reason: .......... |

Mr. Dart, Babbitt should be peened just as soon as you can remove the mold, with out breaking the babbitt lining. The colder the babbitt gets, the more of a chance you will fracture the babbitt, and the bad thing is you can't see it from the out side. I use a pneumatic hammer, it covers 100% of the area, a little at a time. I have seen loose babbitt that you could move in the block, but that is rare. You may not notice it while align Boring. Thanks, Herm. |

Re: What do you think of this Babbitt
Hey Herm,
Wow, you are good at this ! Yup, 1930 chev six ! I had a Lost Angeles engine company ,i.e.- Egge Machine redo my short block and got these back with new in block. Back in about '60 threw them in a box of other '30 chev parts and remembered them when you commented here. BTW they have no 'tangs/locator' of sets . |
