Hi,
I have a pretty good memory and I remember when I rebuilt my engine 15 years ago there was a red "C" shaped paint stamp or marking on the right (passenger for LHD) side of the engine block. At that time I really didn't care about originality and simply painted over it but in the meantime the engine is getting ready for a detailing and re-installation and I was wondering if anyone had seen this red "C" mark and could post a picture?

I think I might have figured it out. Since the block was primered red I bet the mark I saw was where it was clamped into the fixture when it was painted.

Is this the mark you are talking about. It was a much brighter red than the primer on the engine
