Thanks guys for the advice and info. I admit I've had the same experience with getting different opinions from everyone I ask. Sounds like some of you have had good performance with babbit if it's done by the right shop. Someone told me that babbit would absorb a little grit rather than tear up the crank. Any truth to this? I'm running the bypass type oil filter and wonder if that might make a difference in the choice of babbit vs inserts?
