As listed in the INEX rulebook, "The XJ1250 & XJ 1219 are sealed engines. Tampering, removing, altering the engine seals will result in a suspension from one year (first offense) to a lifetime ban (multiple offenses). Competing with an engine that has been altered may result in a suspension for both the owner and driver. Additional fines may be applied also."

 The above rule does hold the driver and owner responsible for the components inside the engine. Crew Chiefs, hired mechanics, etc. may also be held responsible for engines that have been tampered with and face further penalties up to and including suspension from all INEX sanctioned events..

 Also listed in the INEX rulebook, "If you purchase an engine from a questionable source it is best to get it checked by an INEX authorized sealed engine builder! All repairs requiring removing the seal(s) must be addressed by the US Legend Cars engine shop."

 If you have any concerns about your engine, Please contact the US Legend Cars Engine Shop at (704) 455 - 3896. Engines can be sent to the US Legend Cars Engine Shop for inspection and re-seal for an inspection fee.
