The vendor must provide written instructions for the core return process. We will notify the vendor when the cores are ready for shipment so they can dispatch a carrier to pick up the material. NOTE: The vendor has 45 days after the return/receipt of cores to account for, inspect, & either accept or reject them in writing via an invoice. If the vendor has not provided a written status on core returns before the end of this period, we will not be held finically responsible for core charges as a result of any missing, incomplete, or unacceptable items. As all parts are required to be OEM certified, the vendor will provide a 1,000 hour or 12-month warranty period. This warranty period will apply to all components listed in the long block parts kit. This warranty will require the vendor to provide all parts & labor as needed to correct for any component failure that might occur. The warranty period will start upon our receipt of the kit.
