My thinking.... I expect not repairable.... Or not worth repairing... Input welcome... See the broke part... Another shot of the broke case... See the broke part...

I think the solidified crank was seen on here. That case maybe would have survived with the right treatment. Was anything worthwhile obtained from that carcass?
