* Why can't I order directly from
your site?
We like having direct contact with our customers. Most importantly, because
there are many specifics related to each engine, we need to ask questions to be sure you get the exact engine you need to
fit your car.
* Do I have to send you my old engine first?
On rare occasions or rare engines, this may be necessary.
Most of the time, we already have everything.
* What do I have to swap over from my old engine?
Your intake manifold, hoses, front pulley, flywheel, motor mounts, alternator, power steering and any other
accessory items. Older engines would include carburetor, distributor. You do NOT have to swap water pump, oil
pump, timing components, oil pan or valve covers: these are all included with your engine.
* How are engines shipped?
In the continental USA, we use LTL Truck freight. Engines are either palleted or crated. Transit
times vary depending on location.
* How fast can I get my engine?
All of our engines are built to order. Average
build time is about 3 days and shipping takes 1-5 business days depending on destination. Overseas, Alaska and Hawaii
are air freighted.
* Do you bore
the blocks?
No.
In our experience, Subaru blocks should never be bored due to lessened abililty to dissipate heat from friction, resulting
in lessened reliability.
Since we sell most of our engines on an exchange
basis, we always have many engine cases to choose from: any that do not meet factory specifications become scrap metal
and are recycled. The same goes for cams, rods, etc. All parts are measured with a micrometer to make sure they
meet original factory specs. We do have our cranks turned: if they will not turn ".10/.10" we consider
them junk cranks and recycle that metal also.
* Do you accept credit
cards?
Yes. We gladly accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express
and Discover. We also accept personal and company checks. (There may be up to a 10 day waiting period for checks
to clear our bank.)
* Do you have payment plans or financing?
We do not offer financing at this time. However, we will consider payment plans. Please
remember that your engine will not ship until all charges are paid.
*
Do I need to buy anything else?
You don't have to buy anything else, but this is the ideal time to replace hoses, thermostat, PCV valve, clutch,
AC/Alternator belts and possibly radiator. If the cause of your engine failure was due to overheating, anything that
might have caused or contributed to the failure should be replaced at this time, or you may void your warranty.
* What happens if I have a problem under warranty?
Contact us immediately! We do not have a one-size-fits-all
warranty policy. Every situation is addressed individually.
If you have additional questions not answered here, call or email anytime.
We promise to reply as soon as possible.
