Talked to them today Eric over there, before 50, not all were run, so youre not alone....odd thing is carbon on SOME electrodes (1 but not BOTH in the same cylinder), fingerprints on pistons and NO carbon in heads, 0, but fuel in the rails...... ?!?!?!
My suggestion TEAR YOUR ENGINE DOWN and Go through it UNLESS Stanton confirms that your engine was run.....AND you can verify by what you see.
Stanton builds good stuff no ifs ands or buts, we had another engine of his and it was dynod and showed that , as well it ran perfect and all was 100%, he didnt get his rep by building junk.........but if youre before #50 and theres a chance you could deep 6 your #matching block.....well tear it down.....check things yourself, these are not "Ready to Run" engines.....I really dont know where that rumor started, but maybe at one point it was supposed to be, but to my understanding that was NOT Stantons, prior to 50 or ? From what Eric said today.
Talk to Stanton yourself, Eric is not part of the DP enignes and didnt have exact details on what was run and what was not......
Cant hurt to check......can hurt not to............our ring gaps were closer than I would like.....just one of several things I would preffer NOT to blame on someone else, then Id be real pissed......at myself
Now the only single person I can point my finger at is me....I preffer it that way with engines.
Its not like theyre going to warranty these things
