Default 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.
