So, if I'm seeing this right, the crack is contained thusly:


And y'all think that's repairable with welding or JB Weld? I'm not saying that with incredulity, because my metalwork experience is limited and engine case work is nonexistent. But if that were my bike, I would look at the size of that crack, the fact that it goes around bends and to the edge of the case and say "Yep, that's entirely hosed. Time for a new case." I have no idea of the pressures inside there or what kind of stress that area of the engine takes.

Do this.
If you have access to an air compressor blow some air through the roller balls while spinning the bearing, that'll blow whatever poo poo thats in the races out. these are pretty fault tolerant if you get the big chunks out.

I was gonna say this but with the caveat of don’t hold the bearing in your and and/or don’t get it going too fast if you do. I burned my finger with a skateboard bearing by getting it spinning too fast with a can of air duster. Fucker sounded like a tiny little turbo spooling up all eeeeeEEEEEEEEEE until it got real hot while I’m just giggling at it like a dumbass.
