Default Crankshaft hits oil pan???

As the title states, the rearmost counter weight just nicks the oil pan flange. Should I just ding the pan (beat it into submission) or is there another option? Just a tiny nick on the pan ...

Than k s in advance for any help.

I had to do a little clearance work on my pan with a stroker crank. A few hammer taps and it was fine. I wouldn’t overthink it.
