I know, now, that the 03 C32 comes with the little plaque, but do the AMG tech really signed the engine?

You can't see it in the picture, however, at the bottom the tech engraves his signature into the plate.

For us jealous 2002 guys

Hey us 2002ers may have a signature too,
pop your silver SC cover in the front, I have initials that look
like it is either the builder or the engine inspector at least.

Anyone else on their 2002?

Basically an tree on the left (apple?). On the right: a valve with valve spring and cam lobe.

When I first saw this logo, I thought the valve was a telephone pole,

Well in that case

At least the 2002's are signed by a parts guy.
Heck he might even be a parts manager!

Actually I have seen the signature on a 2003 C32. It's kinda weird that it is not on all the engines. I have also seen a 2003 that did not have it. I don't know why.

Funny how Ford SVT copied engine builder signature concept for SVT Cobras. The new ones with Eaton blower are pretty stout. last one we ran made 355 ft.lbs. and 340HP. at the wheels.
