Some engine blocks(all?)had TR3 in yellow lettering written on the block at the factory. Does anyone have a picture of same showing the location?
 
Here's is what's left of the marks on my TR4... I think the TR3s' marks would have been similar.

In case you can't quite tell, the characters are arranged thusly:

.<span style="font-size: 23pt">T R</span>

.<span style="font-size: 23pt"> 4</span>


Not so much yellow as perhaps red-orange. Maybe a brush was used but almost looks like someone dipped their finger in a paint-pot and wrote on the block.
 
Karl,

Mine was red. You can just make it out here

Yeah - the one I had was red, also. I left it in place, rather than removing and/or painting over it.
