That's a quick welding job, no? And if the old motor is comin' out, its a quick opportunity to PC the frame.

 I just got off the phone with the local Duc wrench. He thinks the motor might have wiped a cam lobe off. Causing the metal on metal rattling that I am hearing. Could this be? How do I remove the camshaft? Help?

I've heard there are alternatives to the factory Ducati cam lock-nut tool, but since I did a LOT of wrenching on Ducs over the years, I bought the OE tool.

Remove the valve access covers, and remove the opener clips so you can slide the openers over.  Remove the opening shims.  Remove the closer shims and split rings too.  The closer rockers will be held away from the cam now by the helper springs and you can move the opener rockers out of the way to get the cam out.

Remove the cam lock-nut, washer, pulley and spacer behind the pulley.

There are 4 bolts on the cam end bearing plate (opposite the pulley).  With those removed, tapping the cam end bearing plate to rotate it away from the head casting is the easiest way to get your fingers on it.  Be careful there is a small spacer on the end of the cam that is the EXACT ID & OD of the cam end bearing so it will sit there from surface tension of the oil, but will slide onto the floor to make a final noise and never be heard from again....

At this point, the cam will slide out of the head for inspection/replacement.

I *think* that's all...
