Come with the Standard 1 Year Warranty and is for parts only. There is no labor coverage of install kits and small parts.
Our remanufactured engine products are designed to provide years of trouble-free service. In order for your engine to perform as expected, it must be installed correctly, operated responsibly and properly maintained.
Do not drive for long periods at any single speed, always vary your speed.
Do not tow a trailer or put other heavy loads on the vehicle.
Check the break-in engine oil and coolant levels daily.
600 MILE CHECKUP: (NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY TERMS)
Check fuel and ignition settings.
Change engine oil and filter.
Adjust Valves (where applicable).
Manufacturer does not recommend using synthetic engine oil until after the first 5,000 miles. Follow your vehicle owner’s manual for service intervals.
Failure to perform these procedures can result in damage to the product that will not be covered under your warranty. Please retain all service records (repair orders, invoices, etc) related to your remanufactured engine product maintenance and service. In the event of a product failure you will be required to provide copies of installation invoice and all maintenance records covering the installed product.Original service records from authorized service center must be kept during warranty period. Personal maintenance records are not accepted. Oil and temperature light/gauge and speedometer MUST be in the proper working order.
Prior to Installation - Installer Responsibilities
It is the sole responsibility of the installer and/or owner to properly diagnose and fix all problems with the vehicle prior to the new RPD product being installed. There are many external devices that can lead to the damage of an engine, transmission, transfer case, differential, or cylinder head. If these items are not addressed, then the problem can be carried over to the new RPD product and potentially VOID the warranty. Please make sure all devices are in working order. This is not an unconditional warranty against all hazards and failures. The products distributed by RPD are warrantied to the original dealer and/or vehicle owner against defects in parts or factory workmanship.
BREAK-IN PROCESS & BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Your remanufactured engine requires special care during its initial “break-in” period. To ensure your engines long life expectancy and proper engine performance, please follow these procedures during the first 600 miles of operation.
For a more detailed explanation Please Refer to the RPD Engine Break-In Process Guide
INITIAL START UP
Prior to start up, the engine must be oil primed to prevent dry start and damage to the engine. If proper oil pressure cannot be obtained then a RPD representative should be called for direction on how to proceed. When applicable, valves must be readjusted to vehicle specifications. This is necessary on many engines after a certain amount of heat cycles and is part of the installation process. This is not a problem with the build and this procedure is not warrantable.
When applicable, valves must be readjusted to your vehicle’s manufacturer’s specifications.
ENGINES AND CYLINDER HEADS
The RPD engine should be broken in using only break-in engine oil! The use of synthetic oil during the break-in process will inhibit the seats and rings from cutting in properly and extend oil consumption. The new engine should be run for a period of 500 miles on conventional oil at which time a routine checkup, as well as oil and filter change, should be conducted. Then the vehicle should be put into service for another 2,500 to 3,000 miles (again, with break-in engine oil). At the end of the 2,500 to 3,000 mile service timeframe there should be another routine checkup, oil, and filter change. At this point standard OEM maintenance schedules can be followed and synthetic oil can be utilized. Longest engine life and proper drive-ability can be expected when oil maintenance is performed every 3,000 miles. This properly flushes the engine of contaminants and prevents buildup in the engine, which leads to earlier than expected failures down the road. Routine maintenance receipts should be kept with mileage and dates documented. In the event of a failure, RPD may require these documents prior to proceeding with a warranty claim. Proper break-in driving should not include loading the vehicle, such as using a trailer, heavy loads, and hard driving, among other examples. The ideal situation for break in is city driving with stop and go traffic and a constant varying engine RPMs. Check engine oil levels daily. Oil consumption is expected during the first 3,000 to 4,000 miles of driving. Failure to maintain proper oil levels will lead to engine damage and, therefore, will void your warranty.
Once the product has been installed, it is the owner’s responsibility to break-in the product properly. After the break-in period and 600 mile checkup, the product must be maintained to the original manufacturer’s specifications.
The RPD drivetrain components are broken in right out of the box. You can resume regular service once proper installation is complete and proper operability is confirmed by the installing technician. In the event a problem should arise via trouble lights or noise/performance-related issues discontinue use and have the vehicle inspected to prevent damage to the product that could potentially void the warranty.
Quite often recommendations come with the product purchase to help ensure a successful installation. Review below the most common recommendations that pertain to your purchase.
**Also to be noted and followed or any additional instructions and recommendations that may be labeled on the product or inside the crate.**
Be sure to share these notes/recommendations with any persons installing your new product.
Engines with oil coolers:
*To prevent failure of the new engine and engine oil cooler replacement is recommended. Flushing is acceptable only in units that fluid was not contaminated, but do so at your own risk. Units failing from contaminated fluid will not be covered. Cooler replacement guarantees a clean system and flawless installation.
Transmissions:
*To prevent failure of a new transmission, a transmission oil cooler replacement is recommended. Flushing is acceptable only in units. That fluid was not discolored but to do so at your own risk. Units failing from contaminated fluid will not be warranty covered* Cooler replacement guarantees a clean system and flawless installation.
