When I seperated the tranny from the motor tonight, I found this stamped on the block. It almost looks like 666. It looks like it was engraved into the block, something honda didnt do. I am just wondering what this is, I am curious if anyone else has seen something like this.

 

The Devil has touched your motor (666)
nah my buddy CRX has it on there

 

yeah.. those are a rare jdm motors.. 100 in the world.. and produce 200 hp...


just play'n man.. it looks ingraved by hand though..

 

thats 1/2 of the code to find out which main bearings your engine takes (other 1/2 is on the crankshaft)

 

what motor and tranny?

 

looks like japanese code of some sort!!!

 

looks like BBB not 666

 

AABBB= main bearing codes. Like "the DR" said.

alot of silly things happen at plants.....I work at a japanese auto plant and very often write on parts.....a 666 or 420........jsut the car number while its getting built I bet.....

 

Thats from someone who rebuilt your engine before you and for some reason they etched part of the bearing codes into the back of the block. Don't ask me why, they stamp them on the block at the factory. Perhaps the crank was damaged at one point and replaced....

 

those are STOCK stampings, not from a rebuilder.

Why the hell would stock letters be hand etched?

 

they are stamped, the camera makes them looked etched.

true, D series have these stamped in the block like in the above pic. B series have them stamped on the bottom of the block.

 

cool, I now know what they are. Thanks for the replies. They just looked kind of odd, kind of like something you wouldnt see from the facotry.
