Hi again guys,

My 325 engine has a blue MSA tag between the rocker cover and head. I have no idea why its there,
It says on it;

0017877
MSA

Does anyone know if it has any significance?

Thanks for the help! [/img]

scrutaneering tag for racing. Once in place its not allowed to be removed withouth permission (if its still being used for racing of course).

Well at some point in its life the engine has been used in competition, but that doesn't mean it not been looked after, if anything it should be very well looked after to keep costs down.
