Ok thanks. I was wondering if there might be a link but it doesn’t appear to be the case.
Your damaged crank case is almost certainly caused by the loose hardware, once loose, the engine shakes about in the cradle. It’s actually quite common, it happened to mine due to the powder coating crushing and catching me out. Once those fasteners loosen and the oil has leaked out of the crankcase joint, a strip down and re seal is the only way to regain oil tightness, in my experience at least.
