Terms & Conditions IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THESE PAGES

Please note that all the prices quoted in this catalogue were correct when we went to press. We have to reserve the right to alter them without notice. We do not like the above sentence but unfortunately our suppliers do it to us.

1. MAIL ORDER Almost any parts that you require are available on a Mail Order basis and we accept any sort of payment - provided it's money - except Diner's Club and American Express. However if you are outside the UK, payment must be made by bank transfer direct to our bank account (details available on request). We have two telephone lines, an e-mail and one fax line, specifically for your use. If they are busy we apologise, but it simply means that someone, as well as yourself, requires parts or technical advice.

2. CARRIAGE Any parts ordered on a mail order basis will be despatched within 24 hours of receipt of order and clearance of payment. All consignments are insured and should arrive safely within the allotted delivery time. If when you unpack your goods, damage is apparent or goods appear to be missing, you must inform us immediately by telephone, e-mail or fax and confirm is writing within seven days. No claims for loss or damage will be accepted for compensation unless we are informed within 48 hours of the goods arriving and the claim made in the above manner.

3. POWER OUTPUTS Where outputs are quoted for our engines or our kits, they have been obtained on a closed cell Dyno at Messrs Griffin Motor Sport, and run with one of our own exhaust systems. Other exhaust manifolds and systems are available for use, but we cannot guarantee the power outputs when used with anything other than our own products. When we deliver a new engine it will be delivered run-in and with a Dyno sheet showing the torque and power figures obtained. Note that when you install a tested, certified engine in a car, the linkages have their effect; when you consider the tyres, wheel bearings, gearbox, air temperature - to name but a few - the power output will decrease by 15 - 28% on the road. This decrease is normal and without rebuilding large parts of your existing power train cannot be prevented.

4. BUILDING YOUR OWN ENGINE When building your own engines from our kits you will need a donor engine of good quality. It would be true to say that mileage does not have a very great bearing on the engine providing that it is in good condition and that it has been looked after. We would always recommend that you strip the engine completely, washing and cleaning every bit before you begin assembly. Apart from the kits, we also supply all the gaskets that you will require as well as assembly pastes and lubricants, particularly useful with cams where high pressure is experienced immediately the assembly is complete. We cannot stress too highly that absolute cleanliness is essential to a good job.
