Couple of mysteries inside my engine...

Got this thing almost apart, and found a couple of things that obviously mean something, but I don't know what it is:

My valve springs have an orange swatch painted on them. Is this some kind of identifier that might tell me who made them, and what they are?

My pan rail (KB) has not only the torque values, but the number 10-150 stamped on it. It is also stamped on every main cap. Does the 10 signify Stage 10, and the 150 signify the 150th one built, or am I way off base?

yes and yes.... i want to say the orange stripe is manley springs, and the 10 - 150 is correct. is there a 150 on all the main caps? should be to identify the block with the caps. and yes 10 is stage 10 block.

 

Yeah, every cap and the pan rail all say 10-150.

 

Is it std mains or 3 in. dave

 

I'll check tonite after work and post the results.

-Scouder

 

Mains are 2.75.

-Scouder

 

std. mains is good a 3in. is ok but there are many more cranks out there for std. Dave

 

Good, I don't need anything out of the ordinary. This engine will make all the power I will ever want.

 

Haha, boy, i've said that line a few times.........

 

Until the driver is waving to the spectators, then more power is required......

 

I didn't think that sentence was in the english language I must be reading it wrong. I know it has never been used around here. Time will tell Scouder.
