Replacable babbitt bearing inserts?
In the era of the model T there were cars with replaceable babbitt bearing inserts, much like the replaceable bearing shells used today.
What would prevent a model T block being lightly machined (just enough boring to clean up the bearing area?) and make replaceable bearing inserts of babbitt a success?
