Cracked a piece off of cylinder...

In the process of putting in the studs I cracked one of the cylinders at the very bottom where there is the extra cast flashing. Here's a few pictures of it, I was curious what this will effect performance-wise, but have already noticed it's giving me hell when trying to put it over the piston. It is catching on something, so I guess I am going to have to do a small hone on that to try to take the high spot out, is that ok?

My guess is you could just chamfer the edge a little and be ok.

I've already sanded and dremel'd a little bit on it to smooth things up. Will it affect it much by taking more material off?

you should be fine I have a jug really similar to that on my bike,I dropped mine like a dumbass.I didnt notice any performance changes.

As long as the surrounding area is not "distorted", it will be fine. It would be a good idea to run a fixed style hone to make sure there are no high spots.
