Babbitting service

Herm, you surely do it the correct way. The work looks excellent. Think I have some rods you did for my engine as Elmer LeBrash in Rochester did the babbiting and someone in Iowa supplied the rods. Byers Machine shop in Rochester did the machining. This was about 8 years ago that engine was rebuilt and it runs great. Remember the class Elmer did on babbiting about using a tool that looked like an ear of corn to work the babbit after it was poured and before it was bored to match the crankshaft for mains and rods.

My problem is I can't remember yesterday. If I seen the rods I would know.

Well maybe if they stay good they are mine, and if they don't I am sure I will have never seen them before. !!

thanks, Herm.
