And some folks were still pouring babbit for bearings LOL. I am glad to have seen and used some of the older methods. I know a guy who welded up the side of a piston that had a cracked ring land and re-turned new lands in the piston.... that was in the 80's and the piston was no longer available. 1.6L engine for racing. Amazing what can work...

There's McGuivers out there everywhere. I had a customer that had a couple teeth missing off his flywheel so he fired up his wire welder and made a couple teeth. Finished them off with a die grinder to give it a basic shape and it lasted about 6 months. :BangHead:
