Re: info needed from a cylinderhead

3838846 = casting part number i couldn't find this number online but did find that the 3xxxxxx started in 1949, from 35-47 the number started with 8xxxxxxx.

g239 = looks like a date code g=7th month July; 23 day of the month; 9 could be the year (1939 or 49??). In later years last was a 1, 2 or 3 to designate the shift it was cast.

Don't know what the others are might be plant or foundary designations. Sometimes if you look close there is a clock cast into them that shows the hour of the shift too.
