Default Re: Babbitt vs Inserts

If babbitt is superior to insert bearings, than we would still have babbitt bearings today. Insert bearings are the way to go.

The last babbitt bearing car engine I am aware of was the 170 cu. in. Ford six cylinder used in the 1960s Falcons. Did you know that GM and Chevy 6 cylinder engines through 1953 used splash (spray bars) oil lubrication of its connecting rods.
