It would depend on how fast you run the engine, how often you change the oil, and whether or not you have a counterweighted crank.

It will let you know when it is time. There is no right answer to your question on how long. It depends on a lot of things. How good was the babbit job, how fast do you drive, was it adjusted right in the first place, do you lug it on the hills, do you use the spark lever correctly and so on.

Re: Babbitus fragmentus!
I had a 1930 Townsedan that had 85,000 miles on it when I adjusted the mains and rods and ground the valves for the first time.It was a original car with the original engine. I might say it was real smooth also. Also no sludge in the engine.

Re: Babbitus fragmentus!
Does not require any machining. You need to drill and tap the center main cap, and the block for the fittings, with a drill into the oil passage. Its an easy job.
