+[[techtalk:evo:engmech04#rocker_box_part_numbers|Click Here]] to reference part numbers for the different rocker boxes (includes casting numbers). \\
+[[techtalk:miscres:miscres51|Click Here]] to reference Casting Numbers Explained in the Misc section of the Sportsterpedia. \\
+You'll notice several cast-in numbers/letters/symbols on the different pieces of each full rocker box set. \\
+**Casting Number**: \\
+The number cast into the different rocker box sections IS NOT the part number. \\
+It has the -xx year code on the end but that number denotes the certain features that were cast into that certain piece. \\
+Even though the casting number is the same for many different boxes, the outside finish may have changed for different sections of the box assembly. \\
+(along with the list part number) \\
+It's the part number listed in the respective parts catalogs that differentiate the finish for the respective model motor intended. \\
+**Year Code**: \\
+The year code is a circle with the last two digits of the year in the center and 12 "pie slices" cast around the year code. \\
+Some of the "pie slices" will have a dot cast into it. Count the number of slices that have dots in them to find the month the part was made. \\
+I.E., in the middle section below there is a circle that has 8 slices dotted and a "94" cast into the center representing August of 1994 production date. \\
+Then look at the other corner of that same side which also has a circle cast into it. \\
+There are 6 "pie slices" around the number "4". \\
+So it appears this middle rocker box was made in August of 1994. \\
+The 4 in the day chart may be a control number as 8-4-1994 was actually on a Thursday (Monday seems to be marked in the pic below). \\
