I,ve put a steel rule across the top surfaces across the join where the 2 crankcases meet ( where the paper gasket lies) and it's spot on level.
I attach a pic where the engine number should be and it doesn't look as though it's been removed, would engines leave the factory without a number ?

Good. I misinterpreted the location of the mismatch between the faces.

Hi Mike,
Re "I attach a pic where the engine number should be and it doesn't look as though it's been removed, would engines leave the factory without a number ?"
Crankcase halves (for repair work) were supplied by the factory without a number. I have an unnumbered drive side crankcase half myself, for a 1960's G80CS.
regards
Bjørn

Re: Head Gasket
Wouldn't a mismatch of that magnitude make fitting the barrel skirt into the crankcase a bit difficult? The barrel of the G3 I've just put together was a pretty close fit into the crankcase.
I'm from the Fens.... Gimme six.

To add insult to injury Colin, I had to fork out 15 quid today to replace the vase it had knocked off her mantelpiece.cbranni wrote:Neville, that's brilliant comment'
