Now, the question comes down to what kind of damage might there be besides the pretty coloring. If not warped in anyway, after checking with straight edge and feeler gauge all around, facing almost every direction, and no cracking or spalliation, microscopic examination might tell that, probably the only question left would be hardness, what is required, what is left (or, maybe added <g>.) Since I always think these things need to be run in on the ground first, I would probably try it just to see; but, then again, what would an end plate or two cost since it looks like you need a whole engine to start with. That way you have an extra crank and some obviously heat treated end housings for spares.

Here is a picture of the end housing that got overheated.  Does anyone know if they are useable?
