The reason i know this is because I was at the delco and bosch manufacturing facilities and by law an O.E. cannot use them in a "New" vehicle.
Just dont want to see incorrect information out there.

The way it was conveyed to me, was that a recycled case can still be considered "NEW", as long as everything going inside it is actually new. They can internally cycle defects out that way. This is coming from a friend at a 3rd party supplier to Delphi, BUT they deal in contract work for industrial and agricultural GM engines, forklifts etc. Its quite possible that the rules for non-roadgoing engines are drastically more lenient (these aren't even all 12v systems for that matter). They are NOT an O.E for any consumer vehicle or engine.
