Guys, I'm new to this Babbitt world. So excuse my ignorance. When I pulled the engine apart I noticed the shims. Would those have been from a stock engine or is that the way you build in clearance. What should the clearance be with a Babbitt? If the Babbitt is good would you remove the shim to take up the wear? Or must the shims be in place? If the babbitts are good is there something that still needs to be done to them; honing or polishing something to freshen them up?
P.S. Barry, I wished you were in So Cal so I could drop my parts off for you to work over.
Thanks for the help!
Regards,
Kevin
