I missed your post earlier, else I'd replied sooner. I used a ballpeen and wood, pretty much the same as it sounds like you did, I also used the socket end of a 3/8 drive extension & a small brass drift to help a little with the corners. Wasn't worried over scratching the paint on the pan, so I was on my concrete floor. I don't know how severely your's was dented, I didn't have a need for any JB weld. So long as the flange wasn't distorted to begin with and you don't prop it up on anything by the flange during straightening, it should seal up fine with that sealer. I don't know if the 616 and 617 N/A oil pumps are the same (never compared #'s while my pan was off), but I do know the lower pan and pickup tube assy's are the same.
