Engine Parts Installation Warning
Internal engine components such as camshafts must only be installed as part of a controlled repair or rebuild by a suitably qualified, experienced workshop or engine rebuilder. Incorrect installation, dirty assembly conditions, wrong oil grade, incorrect valve timing, reused worn components or failure to follow the manufacturer procedures can result in immediate damage to the camshaft and related engine parts. Before installation, always compare the new camshaft to the old unit, confirm engine code and OE numbers, and ensure that oil supply paths to the camshaft are clean and free of restriction.
Engine Parts Return Policy Warning
For quality and safety reasons, internal engine parts are generally non returnable once opened or installed. Camshafts and other precision engine components can only be considered for return if the incorrect part was supplied and the item remains unused, clean and in its original sealed packaging. Any signs of installation, handling damage, oil staining, workshop marks or missing packaging will void the ability to return the product. Please double check your engine code, OE number and vehicle details before opening the packaging to avoid issues.
