Crank case markings

[burns1989]

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.

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. 😉

I gues so sir, any reason they would mark the cases? Other than not fitting wrong case half's

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.

I would say that marking has nothing to do with what needs done right now
