What Terry and others have said, a quality rebuild cost high $, and no short cuts. A good rebuilder will stand by their work. Doing the babbiting is an art. Not many people know how to do it correctly. The person who did my engine babbiting was a Model A club member taught by a person who only did Packard and Pierce Arrow restorations. The rest of the engine rebuild was done by a shop in Rochester, MN who had a reputation for building race car engines. The engine was done about 20 years ago and still runs great. Drive it about once a week depending on weather to go to the Post Office.
