Looks like a rebuild tag. Its in the same place as another M38 I once owned. Although it doesnt look quite the same (perhaps paint is covering up some of the nomenclature) as I recall mine did. The one I had listed the rebuilding arsenal; and the reworked sizes of the bore, main bering journals, and rod berings, and the date of the rebuild. One thing to note also; although the engine had a military rebuild; the serial on the front of the block had no R in front of the MCXXXX serial number. |
