This kind of defect isn't what you expect to see in a modern bike, this is from a Hyabusa which also was victim of a careless assembly by someone prior to the current owner. They didn't replace the hollow dowels for the cam bearing/covers.
Unless the pit went all the way through into the coolant or other area I don't expect that would have been much of an issue? The missing dowels can be an issue and give some cam walk for sure.
