    That’s a common issue. What happens is water gets trapped in those cavities, then freezes, popping the lip over. Really doesn’t make a huge issue, as the entire area is sealed under the water pump plate so that water can be drawn up from below. That is, as long as the base plate is supported enough elsewhere that it can’t bow or warp.
