| Please read these instructions carefully. It will save headaches for both you and us. |
The easiest way to prep your powerhead to ship, is to remove the the external components BEFORE you remove the powerhead itself. To rebuild your motor, we only want the bare basic block. This means you need to remove the following components. Please use this list to make sure you remove everything you need to:
- Remove all ignition components. This includes flywheel, stator, timerbase/trigger, power pack/s, and regulator/rectifier.
- Remove all electrical components. This includes starter, solenoid/s, engine wire harness, etc.
- Remove everything to do with the fuel system. This includes carbs, fuel pump, oil injection pump, and all hoses.
- Along with the above, you will also need to remove some hardware. This includes intake manifold and reeds, all throttle linkage, and make absolutely sure to remove all removable brackets to prevent breakage during transit. TMS will not be responsible for broken parts that were instructed to be removed before packaging.
- Now you should be down to the basic bare block, cylinder head/s, exhaust cover, water cover/s, etc., and this is the state that we want you to package the powerhead.
- Time to unbolt and remove powerhead. It's up to you if you want to remove the powerhead mounting studs, but if they get damaged during shipping, it will be your responsibility for replacing them.

Now that you have the powerhead stripped down and removed from the exhaust housing, it's time to package or crate your powerhead for shipping. The following is a guideline to get you going in the right direction:
- All smaller motors will ship VIA UPS which has a 150 lb weight limit. 2 cyl, 3 cyl, and 4 cyl motors can ship UPS.
Very IMPORTANT! --> The powerhead should be packaged in a good heavy duty double corrugated box sized in proportion to the powerhead itself, and it is strongly suggested that you bolt the powerhead to 1 piece of plywood that nicely fits the inside and supports the bottom of the cardboard box. Whether or not you use plywood, make sure you wrap the powerhead in several layers of heavy duty big bubble wrap, and make real sure you tightly stuff the rest of the box very thoroughly so that the powerhaed cannot roll around inside the box. This is what causes 99% of damage during transit. TMS will not be responsible for damage to powerheads that are not packaged properly, and UPS will not honor damage claims arising from the same result.
- Larger motors, mainly V6 models, will ship VIA truck. It is suggested that you construct a plywood crate to ship these V6 powerheads. You dont need to be a professional carpenter to build an inexpensive 1/2" plywood crate that will make the trip here and back. Once again it is strongly suggested that you bolt the powerhead down to the bottom of the box. Please keep the size of the crate in proportion to the size of the powerhead.

| Now that you have your powerhead removed, properly packaged up, and ready to ship, just give us a call, and we will instruct the appropriate carrier to come pick up your powerhead and bring it to us. Transit time for UPS can be anywhere from 2 to 5 days depending on your location. Transit time for truck is normally never over about 3 days tops. Once we receive your powerhead, we will unbox it, disassemble it, and inspect the problems you had with it. We will then give you a call to inform you of the damage and what caused it. Also at that time, payment in the form of credit card will be obtained. Turnaround for the overhaul is normally about 4 to 5 business days. |
| So thats about it. We look forward to your business and providing you with the highest quality rebuild service at a great price!
