    "REP" on engine bar code tag, does this mean anything?

    Hi guys, I noticed on my 300A that the engine has a bunch of bar coded stickers on both sides, that include the letters "REP" at the beginning of the code. Does this mean it is a replacement engine, or are these letter just a coincidence and I am drawing conclusions based on nothing (hey that happens all the time!)

    I'll take a pic of the stickers if someone wants.

    yeah I have the OASIS report and it didn't show anything funny like that. I just saw REP when I was under the hood and was racking my brain for what that could mean.

    LOL Thanks guys, I wasn't really concerned the engine was replaced, but just interested why it says REP on the tag. I will now put my thinking powers to better use.

    Hope you figure out the answer to this riddle.

    BTW - Speaking of Marauder Engines, did you know that they were built at Ford's Romeo Engine Plant?

    Just a little bit of Marauder trivia...
