Reman engine

[4bogginchevys]

I was workin' on the truck, fuel filter, snoop around, mark balancer for reference later, and check on squeeling belts...first off the belt that loops crank pulley steering pump and alt 1 was really loose, oh what fun it was to tighten that....while I was loosening one of the many bolts to allow adjustment I came across a tag kind of behind steering pump on block, remanufactured engine...it has black overspray on it so it's not readable. Did the military reman engines or is this from an owner before me? When I got the truck I was told it was a rebuild but never really believed it because of a 1/2" of dust/grime on it...must have been from sitting. Will the long # on the tag decode to a year/amount of miles before rebuild or something somehow? Thanks again

yes they rebuilt engines. and only rebuilt them when it popped. Its not a helicopter where you have to change out parts at cretin hours.
