Is it too big to carefully clean it up? A low spot wont hurt anythihg, as long as it doent bleed oil pressure off.. BUT,, surrounding a low spot,, there is a high spot,, Getting a wrist pin to fit with the rod keeping even tolerances along that width is what its about,, Splitting the case seems Very intimidating to me,, but siezing a wrist pin might not be a load of fun either..
Buddy O mine was working for Rowan drilling in Louisiana,, well,, we both were,, His dad was a big time diesel mechanic in Odessa Texas,, and Paul knew his way around one.. They had a BIG engine that someone tore down and never put back together.. and by big, I mean a catwalk down the length of it,, 6 cylinder thing, about ten feet long and eight feet tall,, best I remember from over 40 years ago.. Anyway,, Paul started hunting parts when he wasnt busy with other things,, and dragged everything up in a pile,, and the crank had a divot in it,, which had some high spots around it.. He used a file on that,, and the bought him gaskets and some minor stuff,, he put it together and it ran,,
Anyway,, point is,, a visible boo boo,, while not desirable,, may not be a problem at all,, Your skill level and the percentage of the surface it affects may be all that matters.
