removed the bearing from the end of the shaft and reinstalled it in the
cover. I see witness marks in the bore that tell me this bearing has
spun. The bearing is very easily removed from the rear cover after
reinstallation. Everything tells me that this cover is shot, unless I
bore the hole to an oversize bearing.

I don't know how sloppy the bearing fit is, but Locktight for bearings is
made for just this type of situation. It works so well that its becomes a
problem to remove the bearings when you want or need to get them out. I have used it
a few times with great success.
