Hi Phil,

From my experience, it is part of teh 605 serial number. but when you say "stamped" do you mean an ink stamp? Or a stamp INTO the block with a metal stamp?

Hi Phil,

for me it is (at least first or last digitblock) the serial number of the engine. You can normally find the serial number also stamped the same style on the mountings of the crank shaft inside the housing. If you are finding them, you may compare the numbers.
