Useable, or no?
So, I put freeze plugs in my coolant passages today, and in the mean time, noticed this:
and now I'm worried.
The logical side of me that likes to do things right says scrap the housing, while the cheap-*** side of me says that since there's no load there, and its just a coolant passage, I can quicksteel it and if I do a decent job and make it really close to factory, I'll be set.
What should I do?

Trochoid, any idea how he anchors the side seal in there? or does he just wedge it between the coolant seal and the edge of the groove?
And j9fd3s, the rest of the housing is in good shape, it's just that one spot.
