Since we seemingly have some knowledgeable folks here in this post I have a question for you:
GM Babbit bearings have had a bad rap in my circles for as long as I can remember, even back to my teenage years. Looking up Babbit material (tin and copper basically) on Wiki. It apparently IS the material for rod to crank interface connections, even in today's engines.
As I understand it, the whole GM rod was made from Babbit back then whereas Ford used Babbit inserts so that you had a hard rod but could replace the soft wearing surface.
I did pickup on here about the comment about removing the shims as necessary to compensate for wear. Was that GM's method of compensating for wear rather than replacing an insert.
If so, what's the big deal? Ford buffs spreading rumors to get the edge over their competition???????
I had an acquaintance that said his dad used a piece of leather from one of his old shoes to repair an old GM engine..........
