Position Statement, Where To Buy, Warranty - Chevrolet CT525 Technical Manual

CIRCLE TRACK ENGINES — POSITION STATEMENT
General Motors does not endorse nor encourage any
internal engine repairs or modifications to any sealed
racing engine in the field. Due to the competitive
nature of the intended application, any maintenance or
repairs that require the sealing bolts to be removed for
any reason deem the engine non-factory assembled
and the competitiveness becomes questionable.
Some sanctioning bodies or racing groups may allow
rebuilding or modifications but that sanctioning body
or group is solely responsible for verifying the integrity
of the engine from that point forward.
Circle Track racing
Performance Parts are equipped from the factory
with tamper-resistant seals. Chevrolet Performance
does not endorse nor encourage any internal engine
parts replacement, repairs or modifications to any
sealed racing engine. If the GM-supplied engine seals
are removed for any reason, Chevrolet Performance
cannot ensure engine equality and consistency for
performance or durability. In the event where internal
repairs become necessary, Chevrolet Performance
encourages the engine owner to consult with the local
promoter/presiding track official to determine if the
engine must be replaced with a new, factory-sealed
engine. Replacement is the Preferred/Recommended
process in order to maintain the integrity of a "Sealed
Crate Engine Program".
WHERE TO BUY
Circle track crate engines can be purchased from any GM Dealer in the USA, Canada and other countries.
Our recommendation is to contact an authorized Chevrolet Performance Parts dealer which is more familiar
with GM's high-performance parts line. Contact 1 (800) 468-7387 or www.chevroletperformance.com to
find a dealer near you.
WARRANTY
Circle track crate engines have no warranty. They are intended for off-road racing activities only.

Chevrolet Performance does not supply seals for a
rebuilt factory engine, nor does it endorse or approve
independent engine rebuilders as "GM-authorized"
engine rebuilders.
All Chevrolet Performance crate engines, including
circle track, are manufactured with all new components.
A non-firing cold test is conducted as part of end of
assembly line testing on all crate engines. During
this test the engine is spun at low speed and various
parameters, including compression, are checked
against established standards to ensure that quality
requirements are met.
Chevrolet Performance requires proper "break in"
procedures to be followed, as outlined in owner's
manuals or instruction sheets. Diagnostic testing such
as "leak down" tests are not a reliable indication of
engine output or durability to perform as promoted.
Chevrolet Performance crate engines are tested
to generate advertised power and torque values
are representative of engines in series production.
Observed results vary.
