Reusable housings ?

Hello,

I've just opened my last spare engine to get my car running again. Despite that the front rotor, front plate, middle plate and e-shaft are not reusable (this engine might have seen some high revs...), I was wondering about the housings.

Can you tell me which one can be reused, which one I should threw away ?

First, housing "A", about the cracks around the spark plug holes


(high res)



(high res)

Second, housing "B", looks a bit worn out ...


(high res)

But more importantly, there is some missing matter there :


(high res)


(high res)


Third, housing "C", which shows some wear ... too much wear ? :


(high res)


(high res)


(high res)

Here you can see the mirror effect
(right one, obviously)


(high res)


Thanks a lot guys !

He may want to look somewhere more local. Paging Lance to thread 948347.
There are some good shops in the UK no?

I wouldn't use any of those in an FD build.

At least everyone agrees ... ^^
I've forget to mention that it's for a track car. Drift car precisely, with a lot of high rev / high load.

Thanks guys, now I'm looking for a new engine as it will be a bit faster to get the car running in time ...
