Diesel requires more compression than gas, I’m pretty sure they used Babbitt as there was nothing else. By the way, the first compression fired engine was before 1900. I understand the concept your saying, but “Good” Babbitt will handle 7:1 and easily 6.1 what wipes out Babbitt is lugging under load and advanced timing.
