Engine, Cylinder Head and CrankShaft sales prices include a core deposit which is refunded to the purchaser when the old core is returned to Certified Automotive Machining Company or to any Authorized FourStar distributing warehouse.
Be the exact type, style and cubic inch as the remanufactured engine.
No outside visible damage to the block, heads, crankshaft or oil pump caused by broken
internal components.
All parts attached that are furnished with the remanufactured engine; shortages will be
deducted from credit.
Completely assembled with all main caps attached in the correct position; core previously
disassembled and cleaned subject to factory inspection.
May not be a junk yard engine, salvage yard cut-out or rusty engine obviously not suitable
for remanufacturing.
Must be returned mounted on the original shipping pallet (Short Block and Long Block engine
assemblies). Cylinder Heads and Crankshafts cores should be returned in the original shipping
carton.
Core must be returned within 30 days after installation of the remanufactured
engine
Engines shown with "core price" in parentheses [Ex. ($600)] in the core column
on the price sheet require factory inspection of the returned core before credit can be
issued. Cores returned on these engines are required to be suitable for remanufacturing.
Damaged cores not acceptable for full credit may be returned to an Authorized FourStar distributing warehouse for salvage
credit which will be based on current acquisition costs of usable cores and components. No
cores will be returned to customers after inspection and credit.
Navistar 6.9-liter diesel engines have head bolts that are staggered in height (the row
closest to the exhaust manifold is lower than the row closest to the intake manifold). The
height of both rows of the head bolts on the 7.3 is even. These head bolts can be seen
without removing the valve covers. This is the best visual means of distinguishing the 6.9
from the 7.3 liter engines.
CATERPILLAR, CUMMINS, GM, IHC/NAVISTAR DROP-INs MUST PASS THE FOLLOWING ROTATION TEST :
Glow plugs on IHC/NAVISTAR engines should be removed before attempting to do the rotation
test. Otherwise, the engine will have full compression, and may be difficult to turn over.
Also, be sure that the head gasket(s) hav not been removed. The reduced piston to head
clearance will interfere with piston travel, preventing the engine from turning over. Engine
cores that have been left outdoors can rust internally and behave the same way. Using a
socket and a breaker bar on the dampner pulley, rotate the engine 2 full turns foward
(clockwise) and 1 full turn backwards (counter clockwise). If the engine does not pass this
test a $750.00 charge back will be applied to all non-turbo Drop-In cores deposits and a
$1000.00 charge back will be applied to all turbo Drop-In cores deposits. Short Block and Long
Block assemblies do not require the rotation test and may be visually inspected for damage.
Engines that you feel are not passing the rotation test due to missing head gaskets or rusted
cylinders should be flagged in writing on the core evaluation sheet. Upon receipt of the core
we will inspect it to determine the cause of non-rotation.
Be sure the engine oil and coolant are completely drained and that oil filters are removed
before transporting the engine. A $25 charge will apply if this is not done. Do not remove
fuel filters.
Follow the itemized deduction instructions on the core evaluation form to check for
damaged or missing parts on the engine.
