offer him $50 for whats left and get aftermarket intake , sump , and a new rear housing

throw in a rebuild kit and viola you now have a newly rebuilt engine (and for less then what it would have normally cost

I would have strangled him till he was almost dead, then held him at fault for dropping it and then make him buy me a new one .
