Our remanufactured engines are warranted
against defective parts or workmanship performed by Greg's Engine & Machine
for a period of 2 years or 24,000 miles. This is not an unconditional
warranty against all hazards or failures, see limitations below.
Limitations
This is not a warranty against all the many
things that can go wrong with your engine. Many failures are not the fault
of the remanufacturer and could not have been controlled by Greg's Engine
& Machine. The following is a brief list of some failures not covered by
your engine warranty:
1.) Failure of parts not installed or supplied by Greg's Engine & Machine.
A long block or short block assembly requires the use of the original or
replacement pan, manifolds and covers, along with the original or replacement
water and fuel pumps, distributor and carb or fuel injection. Many fuel,
oil or water leaks may be the result of these parts or their installations.
2.) Damage caused by overheating or lack of lubrication are considered abuse.
All vehicles should be equipped with gauges or lights to indicate engine
temperature and oil pressure. These critical engine functions can be properly
monitored, and should never result in engine damage.
3.) Broken pistons, scored piston rings and cylinders, blown head gaskets,
cracked heads or blocks as a result of detonation or preignition. Many of
today's engines vital functions such as air/fuel mixture, ignition timing,
coolant temperature, and even idle settings are controlled by the operating
computer. It is the installing mechanics responsibility to verify that the
computer is operating properly and that all aspects of the engine controls
are operating correctly. It should be noted that today's engines are very
complex. At Greg's Engine & Machine we insist that any work performed on
the engine including installation be done by trained professionals. Greg's
Engine & Machine cannot be responsible for damage to the engine caused by
improper installation or initial startup.
Note.) Remember there is a reason you are replacing or remanufacturing your
original engine. If your original engine failure was due to anything other
than high mileage, you need to find what that cause was and correct it.
A few examples would be:
- Overheating due to a incorrectly functioning cooling system (#1 cause).
- Pre-ignition due to a incorrectly functioning computer or sensors.
- Not changing the oil at correct intervals (every 3mos. or 3,000 miles).
- Not changing anti freeze at correct intervals (every 2 years or 24k
miles).
Owner Obligations
It is the obligation of the owner to properly
change and maintain engine oil and coolant. Warranty does not cover damage
as a result of engine overheating or lack of lubrication. These critical
engine functions can be properly monitored by gauges or lights, and should
never result in engine damage. Do not put problems off. Driving the vehicle
with obvious problems may void your warranty.
