  • Tier1 JDM Engines reserves the right to refuse any claim for used motors that seize, lose critical compression, or suffer catastrophic failure due to customer or mechanic negligence. Used engines should be monitored closely within the first 50 to 100 miles after installation to ensure proper functioning.
  • If installed by a certified mechanic, it is the mechanic's responsibility to ensure the engine's condition before releasing the vehicle to the customer. Professional installation is recommended. For warranty claims, a valid Mechanic’s report is required. Failure to use a certified mechanic may void the warranty at Tier1 JDM Engines discretion.

Defective Product Claim Procedure

In the event of a defective Head/Block/Transmission, we require:

  • A detailed written description with pictures and videos from a Certified Mechanic.
  • A copy of the mechanic's certification and contact information. Tier1 JDM Engines will verify these documents. The certified mechanic cannot be the individual who purchased the engine.
  • Email the required paperwork to jdmtier1engines@gmail.com
    .

After review, we will decide whether to provide a refund for the damaged part(s) or request a return for a replacement. Shipping and labor are not covered under warranty. The defective engine/transmission must be returned complete. Missing parts will be deducted from the replacement. For questions, contact us at jdmtier1engines@gmail.com or (407) 988-3996. JDM Tier1 Engines reserves the right to modify this warranty without prior notice.
