Default Re: Babbitt vs Inserts

A models work fine with both Babbitt and inserts and both will handle almost any compression or power an A model can generate
I choose inserts because where I live good Babbitt guys are few and far and have long wait lists
I drive my A 10,000-20,000 miles per year on average so in 7-10 years my engine will need a rebuild and my chances of finding a Babbitt guy then will not be any better
but I will be able to change my inserts myself quickly and easy
