I have started working through the 1904 LeBlond I just acquired and observe .0015 play in the back bearing, and .0042 in the front. This seems extreme in the front, but what is acceptable?
My only experience with poured Babbitt is in my 1929 Model A, and those bearings are smaller in diameter, better lubricated, and running at much higher speed (but run at .0015 clearance).
