The bolt cut a large gouge in the oil pump pan flange and caused a small crack in the flange from the forward edge to the gouge. That crack should be ok, since it's all contained within the pan flange area and the gouge should stop further migration of the crack. The tensioner had a small scratch - I've polished the burrs and cleaned it up now - the seal looks fine.... the picture is before I cleaned/polished scratches:

Spanner rests on the steering shaft for balancer installation:

Now to put it all back together.
