There is no warranty available. The car is sold as is.

This was taken down because it is the same as http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/RickMartinCamFailure.html until we figured out it had been repaired once and this is the second (at least) failure with the same car, thanks to Scott Krietemeyer.

It has been said before but it is worth repeating, if you replace one defective cam and repair the engine but leave 3 factory cams unwelded you will have 3 defective cams ready to destroy the engine. This car had a failure at 54k then 57k. - Buford
