    Babbit recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a shop to re-pour and line bore model A main bearings in the North East? I have been using the Babbit Pot for a number of years but they are on vacation until the end of March and I would like to get this job started before then. Any recommendations in NH, ME, VT, NY, MA or CT would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Greg

          Give Al (no me) a call at Go Devil Garage in East Schodack, NY (near Albany), 518-477-6725. Does excellent work. I highly recommend him. Visit his web site "www.godevilgarage.com".

          I can say that J&M should know what they are doing. They are aware of the science of babbitting and they have the high end tooling. I have not heard anything bad about their jobs. I have talked with them some about babbitt and their ideas all followed what I have learned about the science of pouring babbitt.

          I know nothing about the other shop to make any comments.

          I believe there is a guy George King in Mystic Seaport area. He certainly knows stuff, but I do not know about the quality of his work. He has some way to tin the block, but I do not know much more. He would not go into details.

            Years ago I was asking questions about the babbitting process when I was researching the science. I asked about peening and he told me he had a way to tin the block. He would not tell me what he did to tin the block. I know tinning the block is not easy and he is the first and only person that talked about doing it. I have mentioned it to others in the know and they scratched their heads on it. I can only report what he told me.

          Thanks for the information. I will give both of them a call in the morning.

          BTW I heard the George King has closed his shop at some point last year.
