Maltese Cross On Rear China Rail???

[Dana]

1985 360 with a maltese cross on the rear china rail. I am an expert speculator, so factual responses would be most helpful. Thanks

Undersized .001 crank journals from the factory.

There's a thread on here. Search maltese cross.

Did they stamp all info on the rear china rail?

This is detailed in the shop manuals. One mark you don't want to find is a diamond, I believe, means oversize lifter bore....or two...or more...

Yes, .008 oversized, but a serious upper level build needs the lifter bore alignment corrected anyway. Good luck trying to find replacement lifters in a rebuild...
