Default Manifold injector hole question & concern

I have a sheet metal intake I was prepping for install and I'm really concerned. 6 of the injectors holes are nice and smooth but 2 of them have real rough spots down inside. Almost like a chunk of the material came loose or bad casting. I put injectors in and it appears that they will spray straight passed the bad parts. Should I be worried about this? I don't want the fuel flow to be compramised or even have it cause the engine to run bad or rough

You would need the holes to be clean & smooth so the injector o-rings can seat properly & not get damaged upon installation & cause a vacuum leak.

The hole is smooth where the o ring seats. It's down in the hole where it's rough.

If you think it might be a problem just clean it up with a dremel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
