*I* really don't know. I just looked at a pair of BowTie heads and don't see anything like you describe. It may indicate the actual manufacturer or plant that cast them. Since it is a part of the raw casting, what is your concern?

Uhh, where is that dumb blush smiley...
Basically all I am doing is insuring it is a casting mark and not an arrow for installation, cause if it is, I have too left heads....

Hahahah!
Thank you CFI, this is what I thought. But I figured hey, if I button this puppy all up and then find this out....talk about blushing.
Speaking of buttoning up, I have some heads to put on!

I've got both of the 113 aluminum head designs and don't remember an arrow on any of the castings. The only difference is that the 2nd design is counterbored for intake gasket retainers - front and rear bolts. Current also has LT4 springs and retainers sans the soft factory guide plates, so the stud is a little longer to take up the space left by the plates. Both have the front and rear drilled for the accessory brackets.
