The Not-So-Fine Print

All major components and critical internal parts in Genuine Darryl's™ replacement engines for air-cooled Volkswagen are brand new, first-quality parts. Occasionally, due to availability issues, some non-critical, non-mechanical parts like engine cooling tin, intake risers, nuts, bolts, etc. may be substituted with high quality, refurbished parts.

See, that wasn't so bad.
