if you are going to use them on your own car i would suggest peening them yourself. We have a special tip for our air hammer. We reduce air pressure and peen aross entire surface enusre a tight fit.

I was under the impression that the Babbitt should be peened while it is still hot/warm and somewhat malleable. I have one that was peened after it had cooled and the babbitt cracked and broke free of the cap. Darryl in a very warm and Sunny Fairbanks
