Looks normal, the edges are rounded so I guess its normal

Let me know if you see anything damaged

on a second note, It was pretty damn easy to take off the valve covers and the gaskets looked new

You didn't know, and there is no problem with asking.

Now the a$$'s who have either never seen an RB or are just complete tools that tried to tell you something was wrong like they knew what the hell they were talking about is a different matter.

thanks for the help, I was stressing when I read the post that it wasn't normal and was broken. . I just thought that it would be some what noticeable if it were normal, but I guess not everyone does there own oil changes or go near their own engines which leads to misinformation.
