Default Marking on engine block? Engraved X



I recently got the car 2003, everything is fine, mechanic said everything is all good,and clean carfax.

What is with the chalked in X on the block, has anyone seen this before, or am I just being overly cautious?

X marks the spot.. might just be nothng

carfax sucks. . if u never report something .. carfax will never know.. i

know of places that repair a car ( body work) but if the body shop doesnt report the info or the owner doesnt report it.. carfax will never know. .

Mechanics mark the engine so they know where crap goes. Thats a random spot though. Usually rookie mechanics do this. Thats what could have happened

What do you mean crap goes, do you mean when they are assembling the vehicle?

I love how you guys make me feel so comfortable with the humor, I guess if the engine blows I have a warranty
