Thanks for the reply Andy.

That is very reassuring. It really does appear to be cosmetic.

Does not show anywhere near the mating surface or in the threaded hole.

I will follow your suggestion and take it to a shop to get checked out though. Would rather avoid welding on it but I'll see what they say.

Thank you again.

Yeah, as I say, there's very little torque on those two screws (water pump cover & distribution piece), so in my personal opinion, you're not going to fracture the cases any more when you reassemble them. If I had to put 50p on it, I'd say they'll be fine.
