I am trying to figure out what was done to this engine when it was rebuilt. Anybody identify the rebuilder by this tag. It is a Southern California Car.

The same style tag is on a 1.8L long block I acquired a few years ago. Someone else posted a pic of their engine with the same style tag a few weeks ago.
GEX is one rebuilder that applies a tag, but I don't know if that is their tag or not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

GEX used to stamp the side of the case with their logo. Down towards the oil pan.
You could look there also. |

I've seen that tag up here as well.
I know that it can't be a VW reman tag, they used to stamp a small logo and another number. This is a early logo the later Canadian logo was smaller . Most type 4 remans were a sticker. Most of the NA reman engines were done in Canada. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/members.trainorders.com-26-1362680712.1.jpg) |

Take a chisel and cut the rivets and find out the factory number underneath. Since it is near the oil filler neck I am guessing it is a GA, GB case.
