The 2 engines look identical. The '13 even has the cylinder head boss that is used on the '05 frame but is not connected to anything on the '13.

I thought it was low. I know he sucked some dust at some point. The top ring definitely has excessive end gap.

I honestly think a broken chain guide was the cause. He threw the chain and managed to break a couple teeth off of the front sprocket. The next ride his tranny let go. My guess it is all related.
I think the case can be salvaged. The crack in the bearing bore is minor. I know a great tig welder. And it would be easy to machine the bore after. That bearing sees very little torque.

Any specific torque's to watch for?
