Yes Doug. Be on the lookout for an engine machine shop that understands how to do babbit bearing work. Its a lost art and these days lots of us have trouble finding a competent babbit machinist. Its a very worthwhile project and I really enjoyed that same experience with my 1950 216, but I was lucky to find an 80 year old man who did babbit work. I hope others chime in with books and references for you. Good luck!
