I had a mishap some time back when taking the engine out of my RP. The brake on the block and tackle failed and the engine/gearbox fell to the garage floor flattening the sump and breaking the front nose cone clean in two.
The sump was an easy fix as it's steel and just needed bashing back into shape, although I had a reinforcing panel welded onto it just to make sure. I took the sump and the nosecone to an artisan welder in town and he stitched it back together using a TiG. A good welder that knows his stuff should be able to repair yours without too much fuss.
It has been fine ever since.
