 Warranty & Disclaimer

Zerolift Autolab strives to offer you the highest quality products available on the market. All JDM engines we carry are hand-picked, low-mileage engines imported straight from Japan with no damages at all. They are carefully cleaned and inspected before and after they arrive from Japan.  You'll find that we won't lower our prices to offer lower quality products. We understand that you, as a customer, don't wish to save a few bucks for cheaper quality, and our iron-clad return policies guarantees just that.

By purchasing from Zerolift Autolab, the customer understands and agrees to all terms, conditions on this website www.zerolift.com as well as the invoice. 

JDM Engine Warranty
The JDM Engine Warranty policy covers the engine block and head ONLY. The warranty covers all internal engine parts and does not cover transmission or other parts that are not a part of the engine block or the head. Engine block, cylinder barrels and cylinder head are warranted to be free of cracks or distortion.

Please understand this is a used engine which has been in use for 10,000-50,000 miles (depending on the year of manufacture). It is not brand new. There may be scratches or dents on the appearance of the engine because it is a used engine. There may also be fragile plastic/metal parts that could possibly break, bend, or crack during shipping. Majority of all parts can be replaced with parts from your original engine or at a local junkyard, or can be repaired by your mechanic. Some replaceable parts may also be missing on certain motors if they are damaged (such as down pipes and sensors), and that is due to the nature of used engines.

JDM engine warranty covers only its performance. Due to the nature of used engines, and because this is a performance product, the warranty does not cover cosmetic or visual damage (such as scratches or dents). The warranty covers only damage to the motor which will prevent it from starting up.

Warranty is valid ONLY if installation is performed entirely by an experienced, certified mechanic. Certificates of training and legal documents from the mechanic who performed the swap are required for warranty claims. Unfortunately, we cannot warranty damage that could be caused by installation by novice or unskilled personnel. There are too many possibilities how even the slightest improper installation or improper wiring can cause problems which appear to be knocking sounds or poor compression from the motors.

Because we are not able to control how you install and use the engine and because they are used engines, the following parts are not covered by warranty:

  • All external parts of an engine such as axles, steering and air conditioning pumps, intake and exhaust manifolds, carburetor, alternator, distributor, starter, emission, thermostat, belts, hoses, clutch, flywheel, pulleys, wiring, computers (ECU), turbocharger units, fuel injector, gaskets, sensors, and any plastic trim pieces.
  • The loss of engine, if the engine is red-lined or competitively raced.
  • The loss of engine as a result of insufficient amount of oil in the engine.
  • Any labor for installation or removal of any defective part of an engine.
  • Any damage to the engine being improperly installed.
  • Loss caused by modification or forced induction (NOS, Turbos, Supercharged) for which the engine was not designed.
  • Loss caused by overheating of the engine, unless overheating is the direct result of the failure of an internal part of the engine.
  • Any tune ups and adjustments in belts, hoses, filters, emission control devices, sparkplugs, etc.
  • Decrease in performance of any covered part due to normal wear and tear, unless actual breakdown occurs.

All return products must have a RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION # (RMA#) issued by Zerolift Autolab. Returns will be refused without an RMA number. You can receive an RMA number by contacting us.

Zerolift Autolab is not responsible for merchandise that it does not actually receive or is not returned in accordance with all of the above terms.

  • Spark Plugs
  • Thermostat & Waterpump
  • Timing Belt & Tensioner
  • Front & Rear Seals & Camshaft(s) Seals
  • Oil & oil Filter
  • Water & Oil Sending Units
  • Gaskets (Oil Pan, Intake, Exhaust, Valve Cover...)
