You can cut an inspection hole in it if you wish between the ribs.
Don't forget, this will also provide mounting for the engine.
Tracy's 1/2 inch plate, spacers and long 10 mm bolts weighs

Also by removing the starter you will have a large inspection hole.
If it make everybody feel better I can cast in the inspection

I'm not sure what is the best but what concerns me is the heat and how it
affects the rubber damper. Holes may provide some flow through.
