Re: [FWDLK] What Is It?

Quoting from the shop manual -

A Maltese Cross stamped on the engine numbering pad indicates that engine is
equipped with a crankshaft which has one or more connecting rods and main
bearing journals finished .001 inch undersize.  The position of the
undersize journal or journals is stamped on the machined surface fo a
counter-weight.  Connecting rod journals are identified by letter R and main
bearing journals by the letter M.  Thus, M-1 indicates that number 1 main
bearing journal is .001 inch undersize.  also, a diamond-shaped marking
stamped on engine numbering pad indicates that tappet bodies are .008 inch
oversize.
