Hi all, Just got down to removing the gearbox from my series 3 li125. I found the nuts not as tight as I would have expected and one stud had either been fitted incorrectly or had wandered out and was sitting higher. There is also slight play in the locations pin holes, the end plate can move slightly when placed in.
Do I need the locating pin holes looking at ? Can anyone recommend where the work can be done?
Thanks in advance
Forgot to say as far as I'm aware they are a matching set.

I had a Jet 200 casing that was badly battered around the mag side and also needed a couple of the end plate holes welding and retapping. MB did a very good job, in my opinion, and when I built the engine and completed an air leak test, it was the most air tight engine I have built.
When you say a stud has come out, is that because the threads in the casing have stripped?
