Crankshaft binds after engine hot dipped

I think the babbitt is done. All machine shops that I have ever dealt with tell you that the solution will destroy all bearings. Which is why they don't want cam bearings in the block at the dipping time (yes, I know A's don't have cam bearings)

I agree/second your sentiments !
I just took a B block to this auto machine shop that does nothing but engines. When I mentioned possible chemical cleaning. He indicated that not only did it not need cleaning, but that that would destroy the Babbitt in the block.
 
The blue shows cap contact in all three .The rear main does not show contact on the back half for one side only.
