guy came to look at it and it turns out the cases don't match, he recons thats how its oily, only reason i was gonna sell it was to put money towards tubless wheels and also sell my wheels and tyres that only done a few hundred mile, thing is, the clown i bought it from ran a grinder over the serial numbers to take the oil off  , i have registered it with dvla so it must be ok but still would make it hard to sell on, i was gonna keep it as a wee project but he seems to think they will never seal right because the cases dont match, is he right? |

no, sounds like he dont actually know what he's on about or was trying to chip ya down in price as in "it wont seal so i'll give ya scrap value" . there all oily with gear-oil thrown out breather an spit back from carb .if i went to buy a lump an it was shiny i'd know it had been apart an inspected an probably decided to be junk so slung together an sold on to some poor beggar .
using a grinder to remove oil ,not heard that before ,an suspect it wasnt the reason for disappearing numbers, if youve got it registered with dvla re-stamp numbers an be honest on sale an it should be ok .the "matching" of cases is to do with crank n gearbox shafts running true an not binding ,not gasket faces ,its not best practice but case halves can be mixed .on p200's theres a letter code aswell as numbers ,a's to a's n b's to b's ,sort of thing ,dont think lml do that tho .

He pulled cylinder back to check the numbers on cases, they dont match and see to be honest the engine is a pile of sh*t, he text me this morning so i might still get shot of it.
Btw my p200 cases match:-)
