Hi Autoalain,

Depending on exactly where you mean, it’s probably the stamp that matches the stamp on the timing chain cover. They machined the block surface with the timing cover attached so that the cylinder head will attached perfectly.

Also, it’s a good idea to add your name and car model in your signature, so every time you post, the details get added every time.
