I am hoping someone can shed some light on something for me.
I just purchased a 1.7 liter engine i plan on rebuilding and when i
got it home and was cheking the engine stamps I found an odd blue ink
stamp above the normal stamp below the breather. the engine id that is stamped is ea060146 wich matches what the guy told me its a 73 1.7 out of a porsche 914. but right above that in blue stamped ink is 0220188 and
have never seen that before. im wondering if it is a rebuild or was this a porsche thing. has anyone ran into that before.

thanks
nick

Could be anything, you have no guarantee it's original and you'll find out the whole story when you dismantle and measure it, don't worry about it for now.
