I know if one was bought from holden it would have warranty, but holden dont have them and if they did they would be a lot more.

Did you get a warranty with your crate motor?

Hey Zedn, here's the thing. You CAN NOT sell ANY NEW Product in Australia without giving it some sort of performance guarantee/warranty.
The only exception that I'm aware of is something sold at auction.
If no guarantee or warranty is given then the item automatically falls under the "Sale of Goods Act" which the majority of retailers are unware of.
Sale of Goods Act was in fact if then almost the 1st consumer legislation in the world, & is the reason manufactures give a warranty, because in broad terms it says 'with the exception of fair wear & tear it can't break down or fail during normal service ...ever !'
To be fair that's really taking a broad brush to it but it is what it is.
By offering a warranty or guarantee that circumvents the S.O.G Act which was what the intent of the ACT really is about-making manufactures & retailers responsible for what they sell & promoting better product quality.
Helps you stop buying a pig in poke!
It's a nice bit of info to know
