Should i be worried?

I recently bought a brand new LS6 block and noticed around one of the cylinder edges,a slight defect..I have a picture of the area I'm talking about.It's not a crack,it just looks like part of the casting is not there

Mine had the same thing in it. Looks like an air pocket in the casting .No problems so far. 700 miles on my new motor...
