Sounds great in theory but... last $4000. insert bearing model A engine we had kept pitching the thrust bearings into the pan. What a hassel, no more of that. Babbit always worked fine for me even well over the 100,000 mile mark.
“Shows you how much I know about Model T’s!” What!?!? You’re married to one!!
I love your machinist guy. Knowledgeable and hilarious. I loved the reaction when he saw the engines in the back of your truck.
Guys like Willy are a real treasure! And I really appreciate your sense of humor about what you don't know, Paul... it's refreshing to see a guy like you who knows so much, but still is willing to be humble and learn!
Had my Victoria rebuilt by Antique Engine Rebuilder when it was located in Skokie,IL. Rich retired and sold the company to on outfit in Bluffton, IN.
Insert bearings are steel with copper plate and sometimes silver plate and babbit last. The copper and silver conduct heat away from the babbit and keep it cool so it won't be deformed. The thickness of plain babbit bearing leads to them heating and the babbit getting soft and failing.
Outstanding content and presentation. I’ve gotten the answer to the Babbitt/insert question that has long hounded me. Gentlemen - thank you both! ~ Chuck
Paul, another great video this morning. Thanks to Willie for his time and sharing his knowledge. My 400A is showing 68,K miles on it, I’ll be dropping the pan and looking inside. I do not want to experience your disaster. Still on the brakes at the moment.
Very interesting Indepth information. I believe Babbit bearings are still used in ships.
Henry had no idea these cars would be running nearly a century later, but he built them to last in the days of poor oil, poor fuel, and poor maintenance...
He’s a funny guy and really knows his stuff. Great video.
Thank you for taking time to educate us along the journey of antique car ownership. It is always interesting and I am so glad that companies are making upgrades. The knowledge of rebuilding babbitt bearings is a rare thing these days. Have a good day and I look forward to the next informational session.
Great bit of insight - also nice to have someone finally giving an answer to what lasts how long.
Another great video with Willie. I am in the middle of converting my 1929 to insert bearings and WIllie was very kind to take the time to talk to me and my friend about how to properly set up for the line boring. Love to meet you both some day.
Just a quick stop to say hi and hope all is well my friend! Looks like all is well. Keep up the great work you do week in and week out. Have a wonderful weekend Paul and have a blessed Sunday. God is good! God bless!
That man takes care of his words and how he speaks ,I like him
Wow. Yea I'd say insert is good insurance of a long lasting motor. Seems like babbitt is like running on borrowed time. Plus for how much an engine rebuild is it's a safe and long lasting decision. I'd rather see that all day than a hot rodded A. Ugh when I see that I feel like Henry Ford is spinning like a rotisserie chicken in his grave. Again awesome video paul.
With aircraft engines we cut open the oil filter ( if you have one ) and examine it for metal. Could also take a sample of oil when changing
Thanks again for a great video. Have fun with those engines, Mike
