If you look at the engine code it says 454 4 BL HC ENG on one line and the line immediately following it says 454 5 BL HC ENG. It is like someone copied a cell in Excell and when it dragged it the number rolled up one - Very suspicious.

I have a LS5 from Arlington with a Build Sheet and they did spell 331 RATIO ALLE - just like this one. Never noticed that before.

I think both lines say 4 BL HC. And double entries is not at all uncommon for Arlington docs. You have to remember, this info was manually entered by humans!

As for the authenticity of this particular sheet,..............

Joe, I had an Arlington LS5 with a build sheet and mine looked similar, with exception of the burnt corners, as the one you show here.

If it is tar from underlayment it will come out with-out harming the build sheet using laquer thinner, I have done this as have many guys on the Performance Years Forums, it works great.

I'd still want to know how and why the build sheet caught on fire?

Stefano,
I don't think the buildsheet was ever on fire. A lot of Arlington sheets look like this because of where they turn up. Most likely it's from a reaction between the buildsheet paper and the tar paper underlayment where a lot of this plant's buildsheets are found. They are usually between the floorboard and underlayment. I'd guess the floorboard where this sheet was most likely found was pretty surface rusty from the look of this sheet.

I've seen worse from Arlington. I pulled a sheet from the floor board and the tar barrier under the passenger foot area and it was pretty burnt. I believe the heat burns them. This sheet actually had the red oxide primer burnt right into it. The sheet in question looks real to me. Tried to post a picture but the file was too big
