The production of insert (LB) engines began in late 1935 for introduction in the 1936 model year, October 1935. Both insert and babbitt engines were used throughout 1936.

The belief that LB engines were introduced mid-year is so wide-spread that it is repeated on the internet much more frequently than the correct introduction date.
