Buy a brand new crankcase along the bearings and you'll continue using that engine, been there, done that.

As for my Hyper8, I have to buy another WS7-3 again.
Uhm... very nice engine. As a suggestion, get the monoblock engine mount as starters (before getting other option parts - no bling).

I've been playing with the clutchbells just to balance them for a given pinion cluster (on the past weekends saw 3 .21's blowing the crankshaft end due to unbalanced clutcbells) and scared a little.

Got access to harmonic balancer and what was my surprise to see that all the clutchbells were severely imbalanced (the small hole to adjust the clutch is the main culprit). Balanced a pair of them and looks like this (don't take into account that used some old clutchbells for the test, looks bad but theorically are way better than new):
