I disagree Oddjob, the pins are lower than the journal surface and I can see the marks on the journal where the bearing has turned and then gone tight and stopped as the engine heated up and the spun when it has cooled. Seen this tooo much lately with customers engines, as they have tried to rebuild their own motor and then bring it to me saying, it is jumping out of gear.
Ok let me know what it says lol.If I go the route of repairing this casing with the pins in the correct places. Can you give any tips or would u just replace?

Yeah your correct Trig, the new pics clearly show the damage, there wasn't enough detail on the original pics for me to be sure.Is it enough to bin the bottom end though? I'd chance using it again TBH, so long as the pins are made to stand proud of course and a new gearbox is fitted. I'd be interested in where all the debris has gone though, is it in the sump?The damage to the cases, were the pics taken before or after the rebuild? I'd say after as those breaks look very clean, if that's the case then whoever reassembled the cases is responsible.
So for the curious, the gist of this damage is that gross misuse has stripped the teeth of 2nd and 3rd, locked up the free/splined cogs causing the shafts to rotate in their bearing housings and ramming the dowels down into the case where they have tried to exit. Subsequently the blind bearings are free(ish) to rotate as they want?That's some achievement.
you do as you want.I will continue to ride like a pussycat with sore paws !!!
