I did some emergency picking again with my buddy Bill and brought home 4 T blocks saved from the scrapper.
Jan 1926
Jan 1927
Nov 1925 - Has the holes in the back for 26-27 so very early 26?
April 1918
The 1918 has a tag on the side the says "Guarantee void if removed". It has a very nice looking crank in it and Bill thinks it has been rebuilt at least sometime in the last 100 years. I think the tag would suggest that but was wondering if anyone ran across this before of may have some info who would have put it on there.

Re: Tag on engine block
The tab tells the rebuilder if the engine has been overheated. It’s usually put somewhere where it will be unnoticed by the owner.

Re: Tag on engine block
Been playing with model Ts for over fifty years now! Never seen one of these (could be a regional thing?).
That is what is so wonderful about this forum! Even I can keep learning new to me details nearly everyday.

Re: Tag on engine block
Fairly modern rebuilders tag that tells them if the engine or head has been too hot, voiding the warranty. The center of the tab melts out at a specific temperature, so they can tell at a glance if it’s been hotter than it should have been. Used a lot in the nineties and up, maybe earlier.

Re: Tag on engine block
Major machine shops used them here in Australia as well, I can remember them as far back as the late 60's.
