Bingo!
Most if not all engine importers will have a similar disclaimer. In fact, some of the US importers (of JDM engines) will have the exact same disclaimer as seen here:
C. ITEMS NOT COVERED
All external parts attached to the engines, e.g., intake and exhaust manifolds, carburetors, distributor, starter, emission control devices, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate, water pump, thermostat, belts, hoses, oil pan, valve cover, sensors, electronic parts(distributor, wires, Computers, injectors, etc), transmissions, drive shafts, engine mounts, half shaft, etc
Importing used engines is a crapshoot. Selling used engines is even more of a crapshoot when the variables of transportation, installer method, tune, and condition of supporting engine components all come in to play. This is the reason why the warranties are so strict.
Also, if you do not follow their exact return procedure, they will void the contract. They flat-out just don't care!
QUiKSR20, whatever you do, keep up with this. Keep calling and emailing and if you get nowhere, make sure they know how far you plan to take this. Make sure it is clear to them that you plan to tell everyone that will listen about your experience with them!
Quick story, somewhat on topic. A few months ago I visited a local engine importer who was selling a complete VE swap (with trans, harness, ECU, MAF, intake, etc.). He wanted $1250 for the swap. I told him I wouldn't pay more then 1K but this was dependent on a flawless motor. He agreed (this was all done on the phone). So, I went down to the shop and had them compression test the engine. After 3 consecutive tests, the cyl. PSI was appx. 150 170 185 195 (1-2-3-4). The first two tests showed 120 and 135 PSI on cylinder #1. It also had a few broken sensors and the intake was not taped up and the throttle-body plate was stuck open. After all this, the tech. looked at me and said "so, do you want it?". I responded with "sure, but not for 1K, what's ur best offer?" I would have paid $600 for the engine and just refreshed it. He said "I already told you, the price is 1K!". Needless to say, I left.
The moral of the story? That engine is still for sale. They know it is down on compression, they know it has broken IACV sensor plugs and the harness is not fully intact, yet they still have it listed for sale at $1250. It has been for sale for a few months now. That same company has many bad reviews on the internet. Bottom line is, they don't care!
Here is a link to the add. I meant to post this up a while back but I forgot. Buyer beware when purchasing this engine!

Looks clean, right? Looks can be deceiving.
Sorry if I strayed too much off your topic.

I will be calling them again to keep at them.
