On offer: this engine casing for Vespa smallframe is very high in demand
We were lucky to coincidentally get hold of a few of these legendary LML SE engine casings.
Available in two versions: with e-start preparation and without e-start.
Much bigger transfer ports by standard
The LML SE engine casing is actually comparable to the engine casing of a Vespa PK125XL2. With only one difference: the transfer ports are much bigger than in the Piaggio engine casing.
Replacement or perfect base for tuning
Easily spotted: Both ducts at the sides offer plenty of space for further amendments, which makes it easier to fit strong racing cylinders.
We demonstrated this with a Parmakit SP09:
You can see that there is space for further amendments of the cylinder base: Parmakit-base gaskets on the LML SE – smallframe.
You will only have to invest a little time to perfectly fit such a cylinder to the transfer ports – unlike with a popular engine casing by Piaggio.
3-stud intake
The SE engine casing has 3 intake studs.
The sealing surface of the rotary valve with its 42mm length is rather large, which makes the engine casing an interesting option as rotary valve for performance oriented engine concepts.
Stable bearing seats – allow better crankshafts
You will find the bearing seat and the oil sump for the NBI needle bearing on the ignition side, as usual for PK XL 125. So you can directly use a stable PK-ETS crankshaft with 25mm bearing seat.
The engine casings were developed for the gear selector fork of a XL2 with “one cable system”.
You would like to fit the casing in a Vespa with the usual 2-gear change cable system? You will need a conversion set.
Thanks to its precise machine production in small batches, shifting gears is more precise, which is the big advantage of this solution. The choice of high quality material additionally prevents wear.
SMALLFRAME ENGINE CASING LML SE
SE125 engine casing by LML India. The engine casing of the Indian LML Sensation 125 is a 99% true copy of the casing in a Vespa PK125 XL2. New Piaggio engine casings made in Italy haven’t been available for years. An engine casing by LML therefore is a very good alternative.
The casings are NOS-products, sometimes rust film on metal parts.
PK125 XL2 / PK125 ETS
The engine casing can be used as a 1:1 replacement for PK125 XL2 and PK125 ETS.
