I have four wooden spoke wheels off of a 1925 series 80 Pierce Arrow if you can use them.

Should there be this much babbit in the pan on this 1928 Chevy? I am a hemi dude but maybe you bowtie guys could give me some guidance. Stephen

Nah, wash it down real good with that Michelob. That'll do it!

Re: Listen to a story 'bout man named Phish
 

It’s been a long time since I poured any Babbit but a few crawfish should refresh my memory, if you need that sort of thing.

Re: Listen to a story 'bout man named Phish
 

We gonna' need it. That engine in lower right of this debris field is still stuck. You can see the last rod sticking up. But I think we have enough parts to get one running. Thses things are a hoot. Every 50 miles you stop and oil the rockers, no cam bearings and the oil pump fills troughs that the rods with a tang roll thru for splash. One odometer reads 61k miles!!!! Uncle Jed

Did the bearing caps have any sim stock between them?

Did the bearing caps have any shim stock between them?

The stuff in the pan could be cylinder block material where the rings plateaued the cylinder walls, just a guess.

Re: Listen to a story 'bout man named Phish
 

All rod and main bearings had a 100thou spacer and one rod had one little brass shim left. She is wore out. Babbit still there so may mic and polish crank, repour rods etc and buy a shim kit from The Filling Station, clean it up, hone, ring. Chiity Chitty Bang Bang

I learned the cranks bend easy so they suggest spin it in a lathe and check runout. If bent, pry it back straight and roll on. Uncle Jed

A place called Egge machine use to have parts for those engines. I my memory serves me correctly they had connecting rods that were converted for inserts. I took a restoration class in the 70s and toured there facility. .
