I,m new to this hobby. I,m looking for help on pouring babbitt rod bearings. Any help would be great.
Russ,
You can find molds, babbitt and a boring jig at:

And a book at:

You can also find a bunch of general information about pouring babbitt rod bearing by doing a Google search for "how to pour babbitt rod bearings"
And a bunch of photos by doing an image search for, "how to pour model t babbitt rod bearings"
Bottom line, if you only need four rods, you would be money and time ahead just buying the rods you need.
Good luck,
Jim
