[FWDLK] 318 PLYM block questions

[eddee <eddee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List

I found some slack in my timing chain so I decided to replace it.

 

During the adventure I came up with 2 sets of questions/surprises........

The block number (which I knew was a replacement 318) is R 318-118957  HD.  I am assuming with previous info from the list that she is a 1961 block because of the 'R'

1) Does the HD mean anything or was that the fellows initials at CHRYSLER who assembeled it??

Does the s/n make sense  (the 7 is a guess, possibly nothing there) it could be 11895

 

2)My harmonic balancer has deep groves where the seal rides.

While apart should I replace it??  Are they easy to find or inexpensive??

 

Thanks in advance for the help
