The Story Behind the Yellow Engines
We wanted an engine color that stood out in the crowd! When Chris first started producing engines, he told his friends he wanted an engine color that would identify his from all other engines. A friend told him with a laugh “Why don’t you make your engines pink? Everyone has black, blue, and red but no one has pink, yellow or green!” There are even purple engines being manufactured!
Chris finally decided to go with CAT yellow just like the diesel engines. Now, not only does the engine quality make it stand out, but the color make it one in a million!
Lafferty Engine Creations makes every effort to build our race engines with the utmost quality and care. We take that same care and quality when building engines for our customers, but racing is very demanding and abusive therefore we do not offer any warranty at all. We make no guarantees as to any capable use of any parts or labor. It is soley at the discression of the customer to choose the intended purpose of product or service.
Our quality and reputation speaks for itself, but in the event that there is a question concerning workmanship, we will be glad to address any issues. Before rectification can be made any engine or engine part in question must be returned to Lafferty Engines Creations within 30 days of date of pick up (or with LEC approval) to be examined by management. If in fact it is deemed by Lafferty Engines Creations that there is fault in workmanship then we will, at our discretion, repair, replace or refund applicable monies.
Any and all past invoices must be paid in full before any rectifications will be considered.
