<div dir="ltr">1). How does this happen? It doesn’t look like a crack more like punch or chisel marks at the end of the key. <br clear="none"></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div>
<div dir="ltr">2). Is this problematic as a stress riser for a street car? If so, can I just grind and smooth these marks out and be good?<br clear="none"></div>
