Default Re: Rookie with an engine problem

While the cap was off you should have filed an oil pocket in the parting edge of the babbit. I don't have any pictures handy, but Herm has posted pictures of what a good babbit job should look like with oil pockets. And make sure the oil pockets stop before the ends of the babbit.

Maybe James or Herm will post a picture of the cap with good oil pockets.
