Guest Untame Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This week The Engine Store in Winona, MN, is closing for good. The man who did the babbitting was 91 years old and very experienced -- he's now in Texas enjoying retirement (about time).I've got another Delahaye engine I need babbitted, and I'd like to work with someone local. Can anyone recommend a babbitter in Western Wisconsin or Eastern Minnesota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Not exactly in your neighborhood, but Paul's Rod & Bearing has been doing babbitt work for many years and has an excellent reputation. about pauls rod and bearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petri Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Effingham Regrinding Effingham Regrinding Home PageThey turned the crankshaft and did the babbitt on my 32 Packard straight eight and laid the crank a couple of years ago. They have been doing this forever and seem to have a lot of experience. The can even cut new camshafts as they have many of the old patterns.Probably not any closer than Paul's in Mo suggested above.Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Untame Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks for the tips. I've sent the rods and mains to Paul's. I'm sure they'll get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
