Warranty and Return Policy

All our parts have a 30-day warranty, except carburetors. Parts are guaranteed against defect, parts are not guaranteed against improper installation or improper usage. Some engines and transmissions carry a 90-day warranty. If the part does not fit or does not work, we will replace it with one that will work. If incorrect fit is due to our error, there will be no additional expense to the customer.  If there is not one in stock, your money will be refunded. If incorrect fit is due to customer error, the customer is responsible for additional shipping and handling charges and a 25% restocking fee. Returned parts that are incorrectly ordered will be refunded less shipping and handling charges and less a 25% restocking fee. Basically: if we make a mistake, we fix it; if you make a mistake, you pay for it. We do not guarantee labor charges, fluids or gaskets. We test most parts, and engines are always started and ran out before they are pulled from the vehicle.

Engines are guaranteed against rod knock, cracked block, and excessive smoking for a period of up to 90 days from the date of purchase. Engine accessories are not guaranteed when they are sold with the engine. Most engines manufactured after 1/01/1990 carry a 90 day warranty. Most engines manufactured prior to 1/01/1990 carry a 30 day warranty. Some exceptions do apply. You will be informed of any deviation prior to purchase.

Buyer's sole remedy against seller shall be the replacement part if timely returned to seller. If you have any questions, contact us.
