Yep, know exactly what your talking about, I thought I had a crack so I bought a brand new cylinder, lo and behold it looked like the one I replaced. After that I did a closed inspection and determined it was casting flaw, anyway I've been using the cylinder for a couple of years with no issues.

I can see some extra bottom end power just waiting to be unleashed from those lower boost ports.  Cam.
