NW Team Yota must receive original main caps installed with all bolts.

Crankshafts sent to NW Team Yota for the purpose of a core must be turnable to next the bearing size. NW Team Yota will deduct a core charge to all crankshafts that have lost a rod bearing this core charge is deducted due to stress fatigue and wear to bearing journal.

Where do I need to send my core to?
All of our engines are remanufactured in our private facility in Charlotte TN. Unfortunately this machine shop is not considered a commercial location by shipping companies. Due to this technicality we do not ship from here or receive returns here. We bring all of our freight to freight terminals in Nashville TN to avoid additional charges. If you want to set up your return freight we ask that you set it up as a customer pickup from a shipping terminal in Nashville, TN. If you choose this option it is your responsibility to inform us of the shipment and provide us with shipping carrier and tracking number.
What if I don’t have a core or I keep my engine/part?
This is fine, you can absolutely keep your item, we will charge you the core charge and no refund will be issued.
