Metal stamps struck with a hammer is by far the preferred method for the rod and main bearing caps as a stamp is permanent. It won't get accidentally removed. You can buy a set of stamps at Harbor Freight or other places for $12-15.
Yep, that’s a better method. I did not realize HF had them available. You can also just hammer in a number of dots with a punch to denote the number. Strangely enough, the sharpie lasted even through reinstallation.
@@zcarguide If you are marking with the dots, the last cylinder set does not need to be marked, as its obvious. So, for a six cyl engine the unmarked would be number six, four cyl engine unmarked is number four. I have come across a lot of people in real life and on RUclips, who mark all the sets!
Great video mate thank you got you efforts ✋🏻
I agree with A H. Very nice detail - more than I've seen in most other videos. Really nice job!!!!
Great to see this being documented in such detail.

@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 I guess I’m not sure what the real advantage is of not labeling just one of them
@@zcarguide It would be obvious that it is the last piston set. Saves the trouble of marking it, and with a higher number of dots!
