picture of babbitted block and caps ... my design mainbearing mold uses a single center gate (spru) ... the intent in this design is to eliminate the knit line that can occur with many of the vintage multiple gate molds ... the multiple flow front that was present with the multiple gate tools often entrapped gasses or impurities at the knit line ... the single center gate design will cause gasses or impurities to move toward the vented endcaps to avoid entrapment ...always an optimist Gene French

Had some issues with the babbit not flowing all the way to the top of the mold especially the right front corner ect. Would you suggest putting shims under the mold plate? Or inlarging the vent holes?
