Lead times for cylinder heads can vary depending on availability and type. Remanufactured cylinder heads typically take up to two weeks to ship out, while new cylinder heads usually ship within a week or less. However, for rare or hard-to-find heads, additional time may be required to locate and prepare the part. If you have any questions or need a more accurate estimate for your specific application, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re happy to help. ### Core Return And Warranty Information Clearwater Cylinder Head, Inc. is committed to quality and stands behind its products with a 24-month warranty on both new and remanufactured cylinder heads, excluding commercial, industrial, performance, and marine use, which carry a 90-day warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials but does not include labor or damages from improper installation, overheating, or misuse. Proof of purchase is required, and all installations must be done by a qualified mechanic following approved procedures. A heat level indicator is installed on each head—tampering with or removing it voids the warranty. Repairs made without prior authorization or failure to notify us before removing the head will also void coverage. Core returns must be completed within 30 days to avoid additional charges.
