Diamond B i.d.
I know this is unimportant but I'm curious. The engine in my car is a model B. It has the small diamond in the casting but there is no date code. Is this common?

My "A" Diamond block has no date code.

Re: Diamond B i.d.
There is a number stamped on a small plate that is date coded. rv in so can't show picture. But in on block looks like plate with two mall screws but is cast into block.

Re: Diamond B i.d.
My car has a diamond engine, not sure what that means. Will look for the date code and do some research on Diamond engines.
Thanks guys Gerry Birch Bay WA |

Re: Diamond B i.d.
I have 2 "Diamond" Model "B" engines and neither of them has a date. I see no significance to the "Diamond" blocks other than the "Diamond" caster's mark is indicative of an aftermarket manufacturer.
