Warranty

All of our engines and transmissions come with a 6 month, unlimited mileage warranty. You may put as many miles on it as you want during the 6 month period. This warranty only covers the engine or transmission itself and does not cover any labor.

The engine and transmission warranty will begin on the date of purchase and will expire 6 months from that date. All warranty claims must be made during the warranty period.

The warranty covers the engine long block (block and heads) and the internal parts. All the outside accessories are not covered under this warranty. Most of our engines come complete but these extra parts can sometimes be different than your original parts. During shipping from Japan some parts can break and get scratched do not worry as this does happen. Just remove these parts and replace them with your original parts. We always recommend using your original accessories when installing any used engine. Please keep that in mind when placing an order. These accessories are explained in item #2 of our 6 month limited engine and transmission warranty.

In case you are experiencing a problem with an engine or transmission please contact us as soon as possible. We will work together with you and the mechanic to try to find the cause of the problem. We will try to solve the issue while the engine or transmission is still in the car. If the problem cannot be solved while the item is still in the car, we will then authorize for a warranty replacement. We will need to have the warranty item picked up and shipped back before we can ship out a replacement. So please remove any of your original parts that you need off the product before shipping it back for warranty.
