Salvage or manufacturing marking.

I would think salvage markings too.... I've never seen a marauder with a factory engine have those markings.

Perhaps my covers were swapped at some point with a salvage model because the car itself has an original title. It should be ok to just remove the numbers right? I dont like them being there

No your car wont start if you remove them.

Title has nothing to do with it. Title goes with the vehicle VIN not the engine serial number.

Probrably a engine swap from the past .
Auto wreckers ( recyclers ) use a paint marker to inventory .
ARCYLIC ENAMEL REDUCER will remove the paint marker .:beer:

That is the markings for the experimental heads used on a few selected Marauders. They say they are 100% better than stock heads.
