If required, these outer accessories should be swapped from your original engine.

Conditions That Void the Warranty

  • The returned merchandise is not in the original condition as it was delivered.
  • A new water pump is not installed at the time of installing the engine (Keep purchase and install receipts.)
  • Keeping defective merchandise for more than 30 days can eliminate all chances of its revival, hence voiding the warranty. So please contact us as soon as you have identified an issue.

  • Shipping costs for warranty-approved returns are covered by us.
  • We deserve at least one opportunity to resolve any issue. Denying a warranty replacement on an approved warranty claim on the first instance incurs a 20% restocking fee.
