Fixing a recall doesn't void originality. The key would be to determine what finish was on the replacement cases. Replacement cases were what was offered at the time. I only assume they were the later satin finish. Now there would be some detective work... The cases on my '01 V11 LM were redone through warranty. It came back with a wrinkled finish that almost matched the finish on the gearbox. I could only spot the difference from very close by. I believe it was done by a firm in Germany. Afaik they redid all the bad cases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin AH Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 That is very interesting.......... I'm wondering if the fix in North America was a little different that those in Europe? Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I know this is an old thread, but as a recipient of the warranty replacement engine cases for the bubbling 2002 finish, I can concur with Jaap that the replacement cases were the same fuzzy/textured black finish as the originals, not the later 03+ smooth semi-gloss/satin finish. The new cases were a near exact match to the transmission, although they were a bit darker since they hadn't yet been exposed to road grime, etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
