[QUOTE="Danny, post: 88949, member: 132"] in most cases true. Very unlikely that the warranty will cover workmanship unless the problem is due to workmanship and it is your own mechanic doing it for you. That's why as an advise for new forumers who are thinking of engine transplants, in the ideal situation make sure you ask the seller to write down what is covered and what is not (or you can draft out something yourself and ask him to sign). So when something does go wrong, you know who is responsible for what. Get everything sorted out at the beginning to avoid complications. There are exceptions to the rule when something out of the ordinary happen. For example, in some cases you pay part payment (eg 30/40/50%) & the balance when the transplant is done, provided there are no faults to the parts that you have bought. In this case, when some parts is found faulty and the seller refuses to change the part for you, there is a dilemma. What to do in this case?U see, many complications can come out if there is nothing written beforehand. If both parties are giving each other hardballs, you are faced with very bad practical solutions:- 1. Take out everything and pass it back to the seller? Then how about those parts that are replaced, and what about the workmanship? Since it is the seller that refuse to honor the agreement... should he pay for everything? Also if you take out everything that you have replaced ie gasket, seals etc, what is the seller going to do with the engine, it is useless already without those parts. 2. Get an engine block from another source and have it registered yourself. This will incur extra workmanship and parts cost. Who is the one responsible to bear? vestax, most people say that it is better to change all the parts before you transplant. I tend to agree with this. There are also some that say transplant first and find out if any parts need to be changed, due to the fact that the parts you are changing may not be new, problems may occur because you are putting 2nd hand parts to replace. So, which one is a better solution? [/QUOTE]
