I remember that memo,, "hatchet-marks"_ lol..
did you go thru the "boxcar bearing" fiasco, ??
Vehicles transported by rail, had flatspots pounded into the axle bearings.. you had to diss-mantle the bearing, without damaging it, to show the "flatspots" to get paid for warranty,, sheesh..
Anyone remember crankshafts 1 and 2 thou. under from factory??
I do remember the odd sized rod and mains. I think they marked the block with a maltese cross or something weird.
