TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

API supply only the best quality used or reconditioned engines and transmissions and in order to ensure high standards, all units are tested and individually inspected by our trained engineers both here and in Japan.

However, they are complex mechanical machines and function as part of a vehicle that has not been inspected by API staff. Therefore correct installation and maintenance are imperative to the performance of the product. Regular servicing as specified in this booklet is essential.

• oil and filter change
• re-torquing of cylinder head and manifolds where possible
• checking and resetting, if necessary, valve clearances

C. thereafter regular servicing to manufacturer's specifications every 3000 miles for the duration of the warranty.

WARRANTY CONDITIONS

PLEASE NOTE: Mastercover Standard Warranty is a parts only warranty.
Master Cover Plus is a parts and labour warranty.

1. COMMENCEMENT: This warranty takes effect from the invoice date of the goods and finishes at the end of the period specified on the warranty schedule or at the relevant mileage allowance, whichever occurs first.

2. HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM: If you need to make a claim during the period of this warranty, contact your nearest API branch immediately, advising them of the problem. API will then advise you how to proceed. API will not accept liability or responsibility for any claims or costs under this warranty unless you do so.

3. LIMIT OF COVER: The warranty covers the cylinder block and head and all internal components; it does not cover the water pump, starter motor, alternator, induction system, clutch or ignition system. These parts are left on the engine for our testing purposes and form no part of this contract.

4. LABOUR CHARGES: Labour charges for repair work are only claimable against the 'Mastercover Plus' warranty. Before any work is carried out, other than inspection to determine a fault, the labour rates per hour and the time required to complete the work must be notified to, and accepted by API, in writing. In any event, the labour rate will not exceed a reasonable trade to trade warranty rate concurrent with the location in the UK and the hours worked will not exceed those determined by the ICME manual, nor the total cost exceed the original cost of the goods.

5. OIL LEAKS: Should any oil leak occur with any seal or gasket of any API engine during the first 30 days or 1000 miles (whichever sooner) it will be covered by this warranty. Any oil leakage after that time will not be covered as it will be deemed to have been affected by factors beyond the control of API.

6. CYLINDER GASKET: Should any fault occur with the head gasket during the first 30 days or 1000 miles (whichever sooner) it will be covered under our warranty. Any gasket that fails outside that period will be deemed to have been affected by outside factors beyond the control of API and is not covered.

N.B. Cylinder head gaskets function under extremely arduous circumstances and are susceptible to the conditions of the cooling system of the vehicle. Therefore, as API has no control over the condition of the cooling system, it cannot accept any responsibility beyond the first 1000 miles.

7. HEAT TABS: All API engines are fitted with two heat sensitive tabs in order to detect overheating. If the engine is damaged due to overheating as recorded by the tabs the warranty will be void. Similarly if the tabs are damaged or removed the warranty will be void.

8. REPAIR PARTS: I f ant repairs are carried out on API products, API reserves the right to supply those parts. The standard of the parts will be determined by API and will be compatible with the quality of the supplied product.

9. DELAYS: API will always endeavour to meet the obligations of this warranty as quickly as possible. But it will not be held responsible for any consequential loss or undue delay in repairs being completed. Nor will it be held responsible for any delay in the supply of parts that is beyond its control.

10. MODIFICATIONS: Any API product that has been used, modified or tuned for racing or competition is expressly excluded from this warranty.

11. TRANSFER: This warranty is personal to you, the person named on the registration card and may not be transferred to any other person or company.

12. WAIVER: This warranty contains all the terms and conditions offered by API relating to any product sold by it.
