hi,

i was changing my oil the other day and when i peered in the oil inlet opening, i saw these "black markings".. see images below...










anyone have any ideas what might have caused that or if it is normal?

thanks

 

boy are you **** retentive.. they are sharpie markings from when the motor is put together.. look around your suspension youll find them there too..

 

I believe they are the lines that Mitsu used to measure the final 90 degree torqueing of the head bolts.

Basically, as stated above, it's an assembly aid.

and to dafarmer... aren't we all a little **** retentive when it comes to our EVOs?
