Red stamp on heads?

Post by deacon »

The 78 has 93000 on the odo and as I was working on the distributor I noticed how clean it was under the valve cover. This kind of leads me to believe it was rebuilt at some point or the PO was a fanatic about oil changes. Ther is also a red stamp on each head with the words 131-USA inside a red box. A replacement head? Just curious.

especially since the stamp is on the cam housing and not the cylinder head
