GM WARRANTY
 

GM PERFORMANCE PARTS ENGINE WARRANTY

Important note. GM only covers parts for engines you install yourself, which is what I offer. I do offer a more comprehensive warranty on GM crate motors I have dismantled, inspected and corrected. This is especially valuable for 502 engines which have a reputation for oil burning. I charge $500 for this correction service.

    "Engine and Partial Engine Warranty" General Motors Performance Parts warrants to the original retail purchaser for the time and/or mileage indicated below, that it will repair or replace, at its option, using new or remanufactured parts, any GM Performance Parts engine or partial engine, including partial engines in kits, that fail due to defect in material or workmanship.
