Ok I tore my 3400 down to the block, right above the cam the metal looks as though it is erroded. Is the block cast that way?

I'll post pictures in a second.

Not a great pic of the valley, but this is what it normally looks like (I was taking a pic of the new lower manifold gasket)....

the holes are for oil return, the rest is just casting flash.
