More often than not, harsh tunes, aggressive limiters, drivetrain problems like high line pressure, harsh shifts, clunky diffs, etc. introduce problems into the system that breaks parts. If you have a parts failure immediately after installation it is likely an installation error or manufacturing defect. Contact Atomic. If the failure occurs after installing other powertrain or engine management upgrades, then they have likely caused additional stress beyond these components' designed operating range. We cannot warranty our products against operation outside of healthy functioning engines or engines with reasonably expected issues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csDB044B\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csDB044B\"\u003e306620-K-P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Performance Parts Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43604664582205,"sku":"25135473","price":569.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9224\/5565\/files\/306620-k-p11.png?v=1789105581","url":"https:\/\/performancepartsplus.com.au\/products\/306620-k-p-atomic-performance-barra-heavy-duty-timing-chain-kits","provider":"Performance Parts Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
