Not sure whats going on with that. Is it cracking? Or just marks in the casting?

Have you looked at your other engines, see if they look similar?
Is it flaking at all?

I dont think its anything serious. Just the casting and metal ageing.
If its not flaking or peeling i would worry about it. I've never known any SJ engines to crack or split.
