Engine Pad

[Dean S.]

My engine pad has a few small random horizontal lines or light scrape marks that run above the letters, not through them. Is this from the factory in some cases or possibly someone in the past cleaning off the paint on the pad to see the to the letters? It is only on the right hand side of the pad above the F0808HF. Are they the broach marks or do broach marks refer to something else?

Dean -

Broach marks (when visible) are parallel to the crankshaft centerline - they run fore-aft.
