I've seen pictures of a KR Wilson babbitt peening tool for Model As. I imagine the Ts was similar. The tool looks like a mallet, with the handle and head made of steel. The head is cylindrical, and the diameter is the same as the rough poured babbit. There is a pattern on the head, like a cross hatch or striations. My guess is that you wait until the babbitt has "set" somewhat, and while it is still warm, you put the head of the tool in the cavity, and whack the handle a few times to make sure he babbit adheres to the block.
