What are your opinions on this warranty disclaimer from ATK Performance on 440 crate engine?
Warranty:
The engine will have our standard 2 year warranty with the exception of rear main seal/oil pan leaks. Unfortunately this engine block was prone to leaks from Mopar and often there is no fix for it due to bad tooling from Mopar. A full break down of the warranty can be found on our ATK High Performance website.

That was the feeling I got too but I wasn't sure. Real turnoff. Thanks.

That is sad! I would pass on an engine builder who had this in their warranty statement. My 440 has more than 7 years on its rebuild and it's not leaking.

Sort of sounds like they are using junk gaskets or other parts if they are having high number of problems. Yeah a disclaimer of "be prepared for problems" isn't comforting.

I did my first one 25 years ago, it doesn't leak.
Sorry but that's a bit much to accept from a "professional " rebuilder.

Sorry but that's a bit much to accept from a "professional " rebuilder. 25 years ago I could run the mile and a half in 9 minutes in full gear. 25 years and a triple bypass later I am lucky to do it in a 20 minutes in gym shorts. I'm 25 years older, 25 years more wore out but at least I didn't have 25 years more of "mechanics" doing who knows what to me.

25 years later you've probably developed a few leaks of your own. But, it's not rocket science to put a rear seal in a big block.

Well Dr.'s are typically referred to as "practicing" Does ATK claim the same?? would seem so
