Drove down to Bill Barlow's on monday and he poured new babbitt in my engine, very nice guy, very informative, he explained everything he was doing as he worked, very interesting as I have never seen it done, I learned a lot. His wife is a very nice person also (sorry I cant remember her name) she kept us in ice water, as it was very hot in the shop while melting the babbitt

. We (my brother and I) had a look at his cars, Very nice collection.

I would pay good money for some pictures of the process. Well maybe not good money.

You can call him and ask, Bill Barlow (541) 389-2694, but I can not imagine him minding that you post pictures at all! He has no secrets, just good work. When he did mine, I was there and watched the whole process. I didn't even think about taking pictures at the time.
