Triumph has been fixing those out of warranty under good will. I would contact them first. The engine block in the thread at Trat you linked to is from an 05 and will have the same weal spot where yours broke. If you are going to buy a block or engine I would look for the new style crankcase. I forget what year the fixed that, might be 07.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
