Tearing down my LE engine to get it ready for a rebuild and saw this today.
Anyone know what the upper number sequence is for?

My 72 EA engine has the same thing, but "022010C" - I think that's a "0" at the front
The PET lists the part number for a complete engine as "022 100 061"

"022" is a bus part number.

Course it's not quite right, "100" and "010" but I think it is a part number.

The first number definitely has a little "tail". After seeing it in the picture I went back out to double check.

Never have seen this before. Will definitely retain it when rebuilding.

thanks.

The "tail" looks like it might be a dot or period. I've seen it before on bus engines that don't have a stamped number, it means it is a replacement engine, but yours, and mine, have numbers stamped so I'm not sure.Yours is a bit different than mine. Mine's futura font, yours is Univers(?) if you want to get technical. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here's my EA 72 1.7 49 state

and an EB was in my other car, a 71. This is a california engine, might not be original to the car as the head ports look hammered in/ modified.

I figure it is the first part of an engine number, the last 3 digits in the part number would indicate the build. I do wonder why it's 010 not 100
