Is this nick in the front main seal area of the front case a problem?

I nicked the edge the lip pictured when I was removing the old seal in order to replace it with a new one.

It doesn't appear that this edge contacts anything as far as the crank or the front main seal goes when the engine is reassembled, but I want to be sure it isn't going to cause me any problems down the road. I probably have a replacement 7 Bolt front case I can use instead, but would prefer to use this one if it is OK.

Thank you in advance for any info or opinions,
Ron

Are you referring to this nick? If so, no, it won't be a problem.

Hello,

Yes, that is the nick I was referring to. As far as I can tell it doesn't contact anything, but I wanted to be certain as I'm trying to eliminate problems instead of make new ones.
