Default Ding near Cylinder edge

Hello,

I was cleaning up the block and found this ding on the chamfer. How bad is this, I have halted the rebuild on this one as of now but am curious if it could/would be good to go as is or if it could be reworked.

I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer.

Thanx,

Thank you guys. I was pretty sure there wasn't anything to worry about. But a little bird put some doubt in my head so I figured I would poll.
