| great,I was hoping it wasn't anything.I did send them the picture in the email.I probably would not have even noticed it if I hadn't wiped the end off.What concerned me was that it wasn't raised up like the regular mold make is.It actually held the solvent when I wiped it. |
Sounds like there are some other guys that have the same mark. It could possibly be that it was dinged in the manufacturing process or shipment and it is merely cold work. It's hard to tell from the pic, but it appears as though the bottom of the mark is visible. If so, it is probably from the casting process. Try taking it out in the sunlight at looking at the mark at different angles, you might be able to discern if there is something going on at the bottom. If you really want to know have it tested with MPI, or LPI if it isn't ferritic enough, that will tell you for sure. If there is a welding shop or any kind of industry around where you live there should be some NDT available if you really want to know. ETA: content and clarity |
