Rebuilt Engine Warranty

Non transferrable...valid for the original purchaser only.

Absolutely no cash refunds, full or partial.

All warranty is void if the engine is disassembled in part or full before being returned to me.

Warranty may require that the customer be responsible for some or all of the replacement parts cost depending on circumstances.

ALL warranty work MUST be returned to me at the customer's cost for repair. Under no circumstance will I pay or reimburse in part or full for tansportation or shipping costs to the customer or anyone else. Nor will I pay out of pocket expenses for repairs performed elsewhere that would be covered under my warranty. Customers should consider this before making a purchase.

 

. Below is a quick outline of the warranty. Note all restrictions. By purchasing an engine you agree to all conditions set below:

  • 1 year from date of purchase/pickup/shipment regardless of mileage if you are doing your own installation.

    OR
  • 18 months (year and a half) from date of pickup for those who elect to have me install their engine into their car. The engine build is the same, however I am more comfortable warrantying an engine I have personally installed, since I can be sure everything is as it should be and, in some cases, can even begin the breakin of the engine.
  • provides that the engine will not overheat and/or lose coolant as a result of an internal coolant leak. This does not cover leaking external accessories, even if installed by me. This does not cover engines that have been overheated by the customer, and I reserve the right to partially or fully deny any claim that I believe to be damaged by overheating.
  • provides that the engine will not smoke excessively after startup. Note that excess smoke can be a result of contaminated exhaust, bad turbo, or faulty OMP, and none of these faults are covered even if said parts were installed by me.
  • provides that the engine will maintain good compression (all 6 faces). Used housing rebuilds often take many weeks or months to break in and reach full compression, and this is dependent on the wear of the housings that were used. Thereofre I do not guarantee a certain compression value be reached. Note that breakage of new apex seals is indicative of abuse, overrev, overboost, or detonation, and may not fall under warranty depending on circumstances.
  • provides that the engine will hold good oil pressure. This is defined as 25psi+ at idle and 35+psi above. Note that stock gauges are not highly accurate, and numbers should be verified with an external gauge if in question.
  • does NOT provide for any items I install outside the short block whether they were originally yours or I sell them to you. This may include manifolds, turbos, injectors, wiring, water pumps, alternators, etc. This means, for example, that if I install your original parts on your rebuild for you, and you later find you have a leak on the oilpan, you do not have grounds to send the engine back. OR, for example, if I put together a long block turbo conversion for you and a fuel injector turns out to be stuck, I will not be liable.
  • does NOT provide for any issues regarding installation of the engine that I perform. For instance, if you have me install an engine into your car and later your radiator hose busts, or you have an electrical problem, I am not liable. Any problems with an installation I perform must be noted at or before pickup, and will be dealt with at that time.
  • If you wish to return an engine for repair, shipping is at all times the responsibility of the customer. OR, stated a different way, at no time will I be responsible for paying shipping.
  • If you are semi-local to me, I may give you the option to bring the entire car for repair with the engine still installed even if I did not install it the first time. Under these circumstances I would remove the engine, repair it, and reinstall it at no cost, provided the failure falls under the above warranty terms. If it is found otherwise, labor and/or parts cost may accrue to the owner.
