Default Engine warranty... WTF

ok... lets get some input on this..


When somebody buys a shortblock with a 12k/ 1 yr warranty on it what should that warranty cover?? who should cover the warranty?? what should happen if its found out one of the parts in the shortblock are faulty??


from what ive seen most vendors stand behind their products. AFR's paid all labor/parts to get the valves fixed on their heads... shouldnt that be the way things should work?

It should cover the shortblock
If it was a defective part in the shortblock then contact whoever sold it to you, they should know who administers the warranty

Prepare for an uphill battle all the way. Ive heard some war stories. It would be nice if everyone could do what AFR is doing. Sadly not everyone has the bank.

The company that sold it to you should be responsible. They sold it. It's their fault for choosing bad parts to put their name on.

i agree.. in my opinion the company i bought it from should take care of it.. they should help out their customers and then go after whoever supplied them with the bad parts (the manufacturer)
