24 Roadster Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I need some help. I am rebuilding my '24. The machine shop that is grinding the crank and line boring mains is asking "what finish is required"? He machines engines every day but has not worked with babbitt bearings before and wants to know if there are special finishes required or is there anything special he needs to know? Is there anyone out there that he could talk to him if there are special things he needs to know. Thanks,24 Roadster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Is he replacing the babbit? If he is he should know what finish. If not he should not have the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 Roadster Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Vern at Romar is doing the babbitt work. This guy in Tennessee is grinding the crank and line boring after Vern pours the babbitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Vern should be able to tell him what he needs to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinist_Bill Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 You could probably get by with a 5-10 micro inch grind. Personally I would lean towards a 3-5. Your grinder will understand my numbers.Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
