Re: Engine parts 14L on plate 15L on motor

The 14L and 15L Continentals both use poured babbit bearings. The mains are brass backed babbit inserts that can be removed and sent to a machine shop to be poured. after pouring they have to be reinstalled in the engine block and "line bored" by a machine shop. After having your crankshaft ground your rods can be sent to be repoured and they can machine them to fit your reground crank journals.
