After Intake valve media blast

Just checking to see what the opinions of the people on this board about the pictures after media blast. I'm seeing a crack between the two journals. The engine was running fairly good but has a little lope at idle.

That is what I thought but it looked as if it has a small opening compared to the rest of them. I will take a another look at it tomorrow. It just maybe shadowing I'm seeing.

Have not put it back together yet. I was waiting for new intercooler and 2 1/4 * 4" long aluminum pipe with rolled edges so I can delete the noise maker. Also wiring for xenon light upgrade. So far wire is complete to both headlight connectors and left front ride height sensor and fished into cab. I figured I would do as much as I could while I had it apart.
