1. Our Warranty Commitment
At The Used Engine, we stand behind the quality and reliability of our products. Our warranty program is designed to provide customers with confidence and peace of mind. All products sold are pre-owned automotive components and are subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions outlined in this Warranty Policy.
2. Warranty Coverage Overview
The Used Engine provides a limited warranty on used engines and transmissions. Coverage applies only to verified mechanical or functional failure of internal components occurring under normal operating conditions, proper installation, and full compliance with this policy. No other warranties, express or implied, are provided unless required by applicable law.

Warranty coverage is strictly limited to internally lubricated components, including:
- Engines: Engine block, cylinder heads, pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods, and internal lubricated parts.
- Transmissions: Gears, shafts, and internal bearings.
Not Covered
Note: Items supplied with the unit (sensors, wiring, water pumps, thermostats, belts, hoses, gaskets, seals, manifolds, and electrical components) are not covered under warranty. Failure of these items does not constitute a warranty claim.
4. Warranty Plans & Durability
Warranty coverage begins on the original delivery date and applies to the original purchaser and vehicle listed on the invoice. Your coverage is determined by the plan selected at the time of purchase:
