Anybody have any experience rebabbiting a 216?

I've repoured babbitts on an old milling machine and a 50# Little Giant power hammer. It was tedious and took a couple tries, but it worked. Call me crazy, but I like that kind of stuff.

Any special issues to look out for? I haven't even cracked the engine open yet, so I don't know what to expect.

I'd like to keep the 216 for the time being at least.
