1.Compressor housing:
a. Horní hrdlo
Kontrola hrdla probíhá následovně:
- nejprve sundáme žlutou krytku
- hledáme tyto vady: porozitu, *otlaky*, vrypy a chybějící materiál
- hrdlo se skládá ze tří částí:
In the dictionary, I find 'bruise, contusion' for 'otlak'.
What is the best translation of 'otlaky' here? Could it be 'chips', or is 'indentations' nearer the mark?

indentations
"Otlak" is a mark left on an object when another object is pressed onto it. In the context these are very solid (presumably metal or alloy) objects, and on hard surfaces the best word to use is indentation. If the objects were made of soft material I would prefer to use "imprints".

"Vryp" would be result of a sharp object hitting the surface resulting in some of the material being removed - this would be best translated as "chip".

Note from asker:
| Thanks. The existing translation, by the way, uses 'indentations' for 'vrypy', but I think something like 'nicks', 'notches' or 'pitting' would be better for this. |

Comment: "Thank you. I used 'indentations'.
I also noted 'indents' and just plain 'dents' in Radim's link."

deformations
I think this is general enough: change of shape caused by force (here most likely external, due to context)

Popřípadě "impressions" for "otlaky", but I would not choose this.
