I am rebuilding my 216 too. You can go inserts or you can send the rods to a babbitter. I elected to keep my rods and have them rebabbitted. I gave him the crank rod journal dimension because they were machined .010. He will cut the babbitt to match. If I understood him correctly, I may get away without having to install the shims. There are many threads on babbitt vs inserts. It's what ever you want. Let us know what you decide and progress.
