That is the "issue" with these heads. Every set we've seen has that in the same port. If you grind the seat back to blend it into the port the seat may become weak and fall out (that is what the supplemental sheet explaining "porting these heads can cause the seats to fall out" is really referring too). You could smooth it with epoxy. The correct fix would be to pull the seat and weld it or you could live with it.
