[Steam-engine] Pitted shaft & Babbitt bearings

[badams at tractors.bloomington.in.us]

Andy,
 	The oiled paper is a good idea.  I know the size of the bearings 
or I would suggest teflon tape.

 	If the pitting is shallow and covers less tha 50% of the shaft 
you can easily scrape the bearing to remove the extra babbit.

 	These folks make some nice high temp epoxy products we've used.

Hope this helps,
Brice
