flywheel broken

I cracked my flywheel while trying to disassemble engine, this cannot be used again right?

No

You have your yourself a nice paper weight. The in balance in the flywheel from the chunk missing is no good.

A demonstration of how brittle cast iron is and how easily the flywheel can become a problem.

i placed a philips screwdriver in the hole and a screw in the block to stop flywheel from moving when torquing the flywheel nut. got to learn from this mistakes.

Not broke in a critical area. Heck, the factory drilled a bunch of holes there. You could smooth the sharp edges and use it but, you can't use modified parts for racing even if it was an accident. Might vibrate, might balance better, you never know with a single cylinder engine.
