Re: Oil Pan Gasket
How certian are you on the pad on the front of the block
I blew up that photo of the casting date and that would be the worst 5 I have ever seen I have done thousdands of these in the past and man it can be really tricky. To answer your question - yes the numbers are often crooked. Usally not this bad but a human had to change the mold each day to create a nuw date. The numbers on the front of the block are often worse since they used a gang stamp and a hammer to imprint numbers that where changed with every single block being a different code.
