WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Normal Wear: Remanufactured engine products, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform correctly. Our warranty would not apply if damage to the product has occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified with aftermarket performance enhancing parts.
IMPROPER MAINTENANCE:
The life of a mechanical device depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark plug cleaning grit or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not covered by warranty.
Our warranty will not extend to cover repairs if:
- Problems caused by parts that are not our original (remanufacturer) parts.
- Damage as a result of Overheating, Lack of Lubrication, Fuel Wash or Contamination.
- Damage resulting from Pre-Ignition or Detonation - Including but not limited to melted or broken piston, broken piston rings, damaged cylinder heads, leaking head gaskets, etc.

- Damage as a result of electrolysis, including but not limited to, deterioration of engine components as a result of excessive electrical current.
- Improperly maintained coolant, and/or any product on which periodic maintenance services required by the original manufacturer have not been performed.

- Damage resulting from improper repair(s) or attempted repair(s) by any service technician.
- Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel.

- Products used for purposes other than their original intended use.
No warranty shall apply to products installed on any Recreational Vehicles over 11,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight which includes most Class A, Class B and Class C Motor Homes and Bus conversions. Additionally, please be aware that the only engines designed expressly for large motor homes should never be used in such an application.
