You neglect to mention a purchase agreement. Most if not all dealerships use some sort of standard form that defines all terms of the sale. The agreement, aka the offering, also excludes terms not contained therein such as verbal ones or implied. In itself it's not a contract but an understanding that defines the offering. If accepted by the buyer it becomes binding when the buyer exchanges something of value or promises to do so thus meeting the terms of the agreement. That's the general principle of how it works. Your account of what happened left out a lot of details that matter big time. Also, falsely claiming a lost title to nullify a sale? You might want to consider legal advice.

NEVER buy or sign that you intend too for something that's not ready to roll to your satisfaction. Local Jeep dealer tried that **** on my ol' lady, "IF you buy it, we'll fix it". We were still laughing our asses off... as we got in our rig and drove to the Ford dealer. We still chuckle together when we drive her barely used 2015 F150 by the Heep stealer.

Lesson learned. Hope it doesn't cost you too much.

If you are going to pull the jugs to fix that leak at the base. What else should you do while paying for labor, is now the question? I would do lifters. Also I am not familar with evos, and if any bearings that need to be replaced, Bushing in cam plate I believe, what about the ones in the block?

I realize after a big purchase you may be light on money.

You're looking for mechanical perfection in a used thirty-three-year-old motorcycle purchased from a dealer. Old stuff is old, no matter how shiny it is, and it doesn't owe you anything in terms of reliability.
If you want mechanical perfection for that kind of money, buy a new mid-sized Japanese bike.

I have oil leaks on machines for years, despite it being the poetic life blood of the machine. Key is know what is an issue, and checking your oil.

You paid $6500 for a 33 year old motorcycle.
Traded in your truck.
Signed 4 year contract.
Falsified a statement to get a new title.
Used an empty lot for your address.
Don’t have a livable place to stay.

assuming you signed over your truck, the duplicate title you now have is the void one.

Stop right now and address this. You are arguably driving a stolen truck and guilty of fraud.

Not sure if felony stupid is a crime but it should be.

Understandable but they said it would be fixed and now are trying to back out. That’s my problem.
