SPECIAL ENGINE MARKS

Information identifying undersize crankshaft journals, oversize cylinder bores, oversize valve lifters and oversize valve stems is stamped on engine in various locations. Special engine marks are as follows

  1. The letter "A" stamped after engine serial number on cylinder block indicates .020" (.51 mm) oversize cylinder block.
  2. The letter "R" or "M" stamped on flat area on No.8 counterweight on crankshaft is used to indicate .001" (.03 mm) undersize components. For example; an "R2" indicates No. 2 rod bearing journal is .001" (.03 mm) undersize and a "M2" indicates No. 2 main bearing journal is .001" (.03 mm) undersize.
  3. A diamond shaped stamp on the top pad at front of cylinder block and on a flat surface near outside of valve lifter bore indicates .008" (.20 mm) oversize valve lifters.
  4. An "X" stamped on the machined pad area adjacent to the two 3/8" tapped holes at each end of cylinder head indicates .005" (.13 mm) oversize valve stems.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

Hydraulic valve lifters are used. No valve clearance adjustment is required.
