FAQ - T&C's

• Cylinders are sent at the owners risk.
  We will attempt to repair but if unsuccessful no charges will be made other than return postage. 
• Standard turnround time is usually approximately 3-4 weeks from receipt. You will be invoiced about 1 week before the job is completed.
• Should you be unhappy with any repair we will only consider a refund of monies paid after we have received the cylinder back for inspection. We are not liable for other losses and only for money paid to us.
• Pinholes - sometimes pinholes can occur due to contamination off gassing from the casting, it does not affect running.
• Welding, some areas are impossible to access and can't be repaired. Welded cylinders do not always replate as well as undamaged ones, please bear this in mind. Welded bridges can fail again and cannot be guaranteed to succeed.
• Port shaping may be affected welding deep scores and port area damage, especially if the cylinder has to be machined out further.
• If you have a complaint or quality concern this is to be addressed before fitting and running in an engine. Fitting and using is an acceptance of the work carried out being of correct specification as ordered.
• If the plating fails in use (very very rare) we will investigate why and repair foc if viable, within a limited timeframe.
