Used Parts

All used parts are furnished “as is.” No other warranty, express or implied, is given. Customer may inspect used parts prior to installation upon request.

The warranty on used engines is as follows:

1) The engines are used. They have been checked out and found to be in good working order before shipment. This means reasonable leak down, no oil leaking problems, etc. They are NOT new engines.

2) If the engine is not acceptable the sole remedy is to return the engine at customer’s expense for refund. If the engine is found to be damaged by installation, negligence abuse, customer is responsible for repair.

3) All engines are sold in good faith and, if so specified, have been run in and tested in a vehicle. Oil samples/photos/leak down figures may be requested by the customer in writing BEFORE shipment and any additional charges incurred will be borne by the customer.

Engine Rebuilds

Rebuilt engines are warranted for six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. Warranty is limited to failure caused by faulty workmanship or failure of a replaced part only.

Any failure due to misuse or failure caused by external parts or systems, such as fuel injection, oiling systems, etc. are specifically excluded from warranty coverage. Any failure due to overheating or lack of oil automatically voids the warranty. Fuel injection and ignition systems are specifically excluded from warranty.

Rebuild warranties include only internally lubricated parts. Only NEW parts replaced are covered. As it is not cost effective to replace all internal parts, only wear items and parts found to be out of manufacturer’s wear specification will be replaced, unless specifically requested by the customer. Any failure caused by a part NOT replaced will not be covered under this warranty.

Types of Rebuilds:

· 911 Top End: Includes replacement of head and valve cover gaskets and grinding of valves, replacement of oil-return and chain cover gaskets, intake gaskets, etc. Camshafts, rockers, valves, and other “hard parts” are replaced at buyers expense and are only warranted if replaced by new parts supplied by I. G. Inc. Head studs can be replaced at additional cost of parts AND labor.

· Full Rebuild: Includes replacement of rod, intermediate and main bearings as well as all engine gaskets. Also includes operations included in a top end rebuild. Pistons and cylinders may be replaced if shown to be out of manufacturer’s specification, but will only be warranted if purchased NEW.

Break in period: In order to maintain the warranty, the vehicle must be returned to I.G. Inc. after 1000 mile break in period for an inspection and oil change. On 911 engines, valves must be readjusted at this time. On 944 models, cam and balance shaft belts must be retensioned at approximately 2000 miles. Failure to follow this procedure will void the warranty.

Estimates and Contingencies

Estimates include all major parts and labor reasonably foreseeable at the time of the estimate. Estimates do not include hidden damage, damage not discovered at the time of the estimate, contingencies (see below) or unforeseen increases in parts costs. Other reasonable expenses, such as for small parts, hardware, lubricants, sealants, etc. may not be included in the estimate however the customer will be responsible for these costs. Estimates may also not include other contingencies, such as additional costs incurred due to frozen, corroded, or rusted parts, (including but not limited to oil lines, exhaust studs, timing sensors, etc.) which may be damaged upon removal and which may require replacement. The customer will be expected to cover costs for these parts and associated labor as applicable.

Parts Prices
