I'm assuming it had alot to do with how he drove it
that got pretty hot, repeatedly and often.
As well, Jamie, don't machine that, its probably not going to be ok, replace it, with either a good used one correctly machined or an ACT or Fidanza aftermarket one. Do it while its apart, its a big job to do it again.
Oh and PS, do the crankshaft seal and trans input seal as well, no use to pull it apart again. Anything that is wearable and replaceable in there replace it now.
