As for your issue, you will need a new case. As jpalessi reccomended the ninja case is the best one. Speed and v-spec cases are basically the same(the carb pinch bolt is different). But if you can find a deal on a good condition v-spec case you should be fine. Just DON'T slap the engine on the exhaust port. To remove the bearings with the oven method, you should only hit the engine on the backplate.
i didnt slap the exhaust port, it was the back plate area, and you said the speed case was the same except the pinch bolt, whats different
