Blueprint Engines Warranty

Your BluePrint engine is designed for a specific application (automobile or marine) and is only covered by this Limited Warranty when used for its specified application. BluePrint engine part numbers that begin with “B” or “P” are not designed for marine or airboat applications. BluePrint engine part numbers that begin with “M” are designed specifically for marine applications and should not be used in automobiles or airboats. Any engine used for an application other than the one for which it was expressly designed will void this Limited Warranty.
BluePrint Engines expressly warrants that its engines are of good quality and free from defects in materials and workmanship. Purchaser acknowledges that BluePrint Engines has made no affirmation of fact or promise relating to its engines outside this Limited Warranty and that BluePrint Engines has provided the purchaser no description, sample or model of its engines upon which the purchaser has relied in deciding to purchase a BluePrint engine. BluePrint Engines will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace defective parts or a complete engine. All repairs will be made at the seller’s or distributor’s cost, plus applicable labor pursuant to the labor policy set forth below.
PRIOR AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED FROM BLUEPRINT ENGINES BEFORE WARRANTY WORK IS BEGUN. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to pay for such work (including labor and parts) and to submit the alleged defective parts, written order showing all charges and a written receipt for payment of all charges to BluePrint Engines for review and determination by BluePrint Engines that the failure is or is not covered by this Limited Warranty. Contact BluePrint Engines at info@blueprintengines.com or 1-800-483-4263 for a numbered authorization. Repairs or replacements do not extend this Limited Warranty.
*Warranty coverage on engines purchased for use in Australia carries a 90-day warranty from date of sale.
ACCESSORIES/PARTS
Fuel injectors, fuel pumps, water pumps, distributors and other accessories installed by BluePrint Engines have a one year warranty from date of purchase, after which time they are considered maintenance items and are not covered by this Limited Warranty. Parts included in installation kits provided by BluePrint Engines are warranted for defective workmanship and materials for that duration of time as stated by the original parts manufacturer.
LABOR POLICY
BluePrint Engines will pay labor claims only to repair facilities it has authorized and will only pay labor claims that the purchaser actually incurs as an out of pocket expense. BluePrint Engines will not be liable for or pay any labor claims on BluePrint engines installed by any third party that is not a certified license repair facility that it has authorized to perform repair and will not pay any labor claims on engines installed in whole or in part by the purchaser. All labor expenses for field repairs, removal or reinstallation shall be limited to that expense and to those hours listed on the most recent Motors Flat Rate Manual or alternative flat rate manual pre-approved by BluePrint Engines at a pre-determined labor rate. BluePrint Engines will not be liable and will not pay labor claims on racing applications or engines used with superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide.
Warranty credits not used within one year against future purchase will be considered void.
OWNER OBLIGATIONS
PRE-LUBE YOUR ENGINE AS INSTRUCTED IN THE INSTALLATION GUIDE PRIOR TO START-UP. Use good quality motor oil of the appropriate grade and viscosity. BluePrint Engines recommends against the use of synthetic oils during the start-up and break-in period. The use of synthetic oils during start-up or break-in will void your warranty. Synthetic oils may be used after break-in and after an accumulated 6,000 miles for vehicles and an accumulated 200 hours for marine applications. After initial start-up, avoid lugging or extended and/or excessive speed for the first 500 miles. During the first 500 miles of running time, vary RPM range. High engine RPM may damage your new engine through friction and high temperatures. Avoid long periods of idling. Absent neglect by the purchaser, engine overheating and engine failure due to lack of lubrication can be prevented by proper monitoring of all gauges and/or lights and should never result in engine damage.
CYLINDER HEAD WARRANTY OVERVIEW
Defined as the aluminum cylinder head casting, valves, guide seats, springs, retainers & locks, BluePrint Engines aluminum cylinder heads are some of the finest high-performance cylinder heads in the industry! Precision engineered and manufactured, our heads will provide outstanding trouble-free performance from your new cylinder heads for your high-performance engine.
BluePrint Engines expressly warrants that its cylinder head is of good quality and free from defects in materials or workmanship. Purchaser acknowledges that BluePrint Engines has made no affirmation of fact or promise relating to its cylinder head outside this Limited Warranty and BluePrint Engines has provided the purchaser no description, sample or model of its cylinder head upon which the purchaser has relied in deciding to purchase a BluePrint Engines cylinder head. BluePrint Engines will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace defective parts or a complete cylinder head, upon receipt of the cylinder head for inspection by BluePrint Engines for review and a determination by BluePrint Engines that the cylinder head failure is covered by this limited warranty. Call BluePrint Engines at (800) 483-4363 for a Bill of Lading (BOL) number. Purchaser shall be responsible for all cost, including removal and shipping of the cylinder head, associated with the return of the cylinder head to BluePrint Engines. Repairs or replacements do not extend this Limited Warranty.
