Wow. I hurt my eyes looking at that busted crankcase.

Even though this is everyone's nightmare, nevertheless you say you are comforted by the options as far as crankcase replacements are concerned, so in the long run it suggests to us that you are willing to give it a go.

Good for you. It will take a while and it won't be easy, but you will be an absolute pro when you get finished with the job.

Best of luck. This forum will offer tons of excellent advice.
