SHIPPING POLICY

Tamerx Diesel Products ships via UPS Ground. Next day air shipping can be arranged for a reasonable price of anywhere from $50.00 - $100.00 depending on the weight of the product and your location. We will do everything we can to make sure that you get the service you need. We understand how important it is to receive your order as quickly as possible.
In most cases Tamerx Diesel Products only needs one address, as long as your product is shipping to the same location as your billing information. In order to eliminate credit card fraud, your billing information must match the credit card you provide.

The terms, conditions, and details of our warranty vary from product to product. Specific warranty details can be found below.

Tamerx Diesel Products provides a replacement warranty on all of our parts. The duration and mileage limitations of the warranty vary by product and are specified on the product's detail page/item listing.

Please note that the warranty covers replacement of the part and the cost of shipping the replacement part to you only. It does not cover any shop, labor, towing, or any similar or related costs. This is not a "money back guarantee".

If you experience a problem with your part or it is not functioning properly, the correct warranty procedure is to call us at (510) 257-1777 (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday). Be sure to have your order number and/or other relevant order information ready so we can easily locate your order and resolve your issue as quickly as possible. From that point, we will review with you any troubleshooting steps that may need to be taken and other areas or systems that can be checked to rule out external problems contributing to your part's issue. If a replacement is determined to be necessary, we will then arrange for your replacement part to ship out ASAP and issue any necessary return shipping labels and/or documents.

As is the case for the majority of the diesel products sold on Tamerx Diesel Products, your part's warranty is active as soon as you install it. In some other cases, warranty activation is contingent upon you sending us your core (i.e., your old part). Tamerx Diesel Products will provide you a return shipping label for parts that have a warranty with a core return condition. When we have received your core return, the part's warranty coverage begins. We reserve the right to void the product warranty if your core is not received within the allotted time, or if it isn't received at all. If the warranty for the diesel part you are purchasing has a core return requirement, it will be clearly noted on the product detail page/item listing.

What is a Core Charge?

A core charge (also called "core deposit") is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda and is a standard requirement in the auto parts industry. For example, in many states, to promote recycling, you pay a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a core charge, or core price, that works in essentially the same way as a soda can deposit.

30 Day Core Charge Hold

You authorize Tamerx Diesel Products, to hold your credit card for the specified core charge amount and that you agree to return your core with 30 days of receiving the purchased part. When we have received your core return, the hold is released and the core charge payment is canceled.

The valve cover gasket plays a crucial role in sealing the top portion of the engine, preventing oil leaks and maintaining proper engine performance. Over time, the gasket may wear out, leading to oil leaks and potential engine damage. If you're experiencing oil leaks or noticing oil buildup around the valve cover, it might be time to replace the valve cover gasket. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the general steps for replacing an engine valve cover gasket.

Steps to Replace an Engine Valve Cover Gasket:

Gather Tools and Supplies
- You’ll need a socket set, torque wrench, gasket scraper, a new valve cover gasket, and engine oil. Make sure your tools are ready before starting.
Remove the Valve Cover:
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent accidental sparks.
2. Remove any components obstructing access to the valve cover, such as ignition coils, wires, or hoses.
3. Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts holding the valve cover in place.
Clean the Surface:
- Once the valve cover is removed, clean the gasket surface with a gasket scraper or a clean rag. Ensure there’s no debris or old gasket material left behind that could cause improper sealing.
Install the New Gasket:
- Place the new valve cover gasket onto the valve cover, ensuring it fits snugly and lines up with the bolt holes.
- For added security, you can apply a small amount of gasket sealant if recommended by the manufacturer.
Reattach the Valve Cover:
1. Carefully position the valve cover back onto the engine.
2. Start by hand-threading the bolts to ensure they line up properly, then tighten them with a torque wrench, following the manufacturer’s specifications.
Reconnect Components:
- Reinstall any components you removed earlier, such as ignition coils, wires, and hoses. Finally, reconnect the battery.
Check for Leaks:
- Once everything is reassembled, start the engine and check for oil leaks around the valve cover. Let the engine run for a few minutes to ensure the new gasket is properly sealing.

Replacing a valve cover gasket is an important maintenance step to prevent oil leaks and ensure your engine runs smoothly. By following the steps above, you can successfully replace the gasket and protect your engine from further damage. At TamerX Diesel Parts, we offer high-quality valve cover gaskets and other essential parts to keep your engine in top shape. Regular maintenance can save you from costly repairs down the road.

TAMERX DIESEL REVIEWS

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
