burns1989 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Got my 08 rev 3 250 apart for new mains and crank. After splitting the cases I found markings engraved 1064. Does any one know what this would have been done for. Its obviously the engine has been apart before as the new mains uv had are the plastic caged ones direct from beta. Old bearings were ntn.

RonH Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) In 1064, England was at peace under King Edward the Confessor, but the succession crisis began brewing. The defining event of the year was the controversial journey to Normandy by Earl Harold Godwinson. This trip subsequently provided the foundation for the famous Norman Conquest in 1066. Maybe the mechanic who had the case apart before was a history buff too. 😉 Edited May 30 by RonH 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtas Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Three Ideas: Does it match with a part number for the cases? A machining note to define how much end float/shims the crankshaft needs. A job number from a previous mechanic shop to keep the parts identifiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I would say that marking has nothing to do with what needs done right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
