Since my search function doesn't function too well..
Are these new 472s squared away as far as quality control?




Yes

Are the new 472s run on the dyno by Stanton before shipping?




Yes

Anyway to tell if the 472 has been assembled by Stanton and not by Cummins.................





Stanton motors all have the new heads and new blocks. The newer block can easily be spotted by looking for two freeze plugs facing the front, alongside the water pump housing. Cummins Recon motors do not have the freeze plugs.

Cummins Recon motors have heads cast from plastic (prototype) tooling, because that is all that was available before 2007. Stanton motors have heads cast on ridiculously expensive production style steel tooling.
No prizes will be offered for guessing which heads are better....

Any yellow decals indicating Canadian origin=Cummins Recon.
Late CR engines were built in Memphis TN and were generally better than the Canadian ones, but nowhere in the same league as the Stanton motors.
