a little smashed spot where the second coolant drain is


any help would be awesome

coolant drain or oil drain? oil drain is low pressure (I would say no pressure, but on a diesel with blow-by possibilities, low pressure) round ball looks like an oil galley plug, and yup, looks like a heat shield

yeah, that is the "hydraulic head" oil drain  I wouldnt THINK it would be a problem?

someone else would need to post up! me personally, I would crack open the aviation form a gasket and put a dab ONLY where the different surface is and RIGHT before assembly. I wouldnt put it on the gasket, or on the other side, just a tiny bit right there on the ding, but someone else on here might be able to give you more opinion. also there is still quite a bit of material thats NOT damaged, so might just be able to run it the way it is.

I think you could get away with it, as mentioned, it's not on the pressurized side of things.

If it bothers you then have it welded up.
