433 motor rebuild

Home away from home

Unfortunately my 433 has lost compression in one cylinder and after tearing into it, I realize i need someone to redo the rabbit bearings and know that you guys can give me input to whom I need to contact about getting this done,
any other info regarding this rebuild would also be appreciated
Thanks again guys

Several good shops around that do babbit (not rabbit) work. One that I can recommend from personal experience is Paul's Rod and Bearing. Google for contact info.

Barry, you might want to go over to the AACA Forum and browse some recent posts in General Discussion by "Herm111" of Kohnke Rebabitting Service. He sounds very well informed and experienced in babbit work.

the link I provided works for me and several other folks I asked to try it. Try again?

Or just go to the AACA forum, General Discussion, and open the current thread on babbit.

Works for me too but if you want the whole URL, here is everything after forums.aaca. Type that much in and copy and add the rest of the string leaving no space after the period.

Some browsers have trouble without a www. in front so you could also try adding that before the forums. If it still doesn't work maybe you have a firewall or filtering software blocking the site.
