Well the warranty basically says that if it breaks because of something you do or were doing, it's not my fault. If it breaks because of something I did, then it's my fault and I'll fix it. 
Examples of things that aren't my fault:
1. Too much fuel pressure, so that it floods the engine and washes all the cylinders down.
2. Forgetting to put oil in it.
3. Not putting enough oil in it.
4. Throttle linkage sticking and holding the thing at WOT for 5 minutes with no rev limiter.
5. Not letting an all-aluminum engine get up to oil and water temp before you hammer on it.
6. Jacking a car up by the harmonic balancer.
7. Thrust bearing wiped out by incorrect bellhousing/transmission installation.
8. Plumbing an oil cooler backwards.
That's not an all-inclusive list.... 
Race motors that get leaned on 100% of the time really don't get a warranty so to speak. That's why they get hammered on the dyno to make sure that they're right when they leave.

I never take you seriously.....
I was basically responding to Cliff's response with an off-the-cuff attempt at humor....hence the jacking the car up by the harmonic balancer joke. (That happened to an engine builder buddy of mine.) |

Ain't no joke-we used to do that to our 396 Chevelles to open the pipes on Cross Bay Blvd-about a century ago.

May be a little different on a Chevy with a snub-nose snout, but the Ford stuff is much longer. The guy I was mentioning totally bent the crank snout on his SBF....tore the timing cover seal out, threw belts, whole nine yards.
