Yes, it's OT, but I'm relying on the wide & varied knowlege of the list 
here... 

Got an old "tiny block" flat-head Ford here (100E) that has been sitting 
awhile - we're in the process of doing a basic break-down/ inspection / 
freshen things up if nesecessary. Of the many cars we've played w/ in this 
house, this is the first to have babbit bearings on the rods. 

Q: What is the usual inspection method for the rod bearings ? Can these be 
taken apart and put back together as with a regular "shell" bearing?   Is it 
wise just to leave them together? ( engine *was* running some time ago) 

Any thoughts, ideas or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks !
Laurie :-)
