Hello. Bought an engine from a dismantler a while ago. And when I look up the stamping on the block "LX", nothing comes up anywhere. I've found several threads of people who have posted stamping reference charts. And IXs mostly start with "L". But none have LX listed. I'm curious if maybe that's a stamping for an OEM replacement block maybe?

 

Wonder if the X could be a K?

Heres the listings, but who knows, maybe the X was mistakenly left out of the listing below?

Yeah, I saw this list. Which is what prompted the post. Found it odd. Its definitely an X. Now its jist a matter of if the list is innacurate or if X is like a factory replacement block or something. Maybe someone with a replacement block from Mitsu can see what theirs is stamped with
