OCV solenoid replacement, something's a miss - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah I don't know why I disappeared.

I just finished replacing my VVT solenoid on my 2006, toyota vios, essntially a subcompact yaris sedan they sell in southeast asia. after I had my engine diagnosed following a check engine light. I managed to do it without much problem but I noticed something that I'm not so sure what to think of. After removing the OCV solenoid, I looked into the opening on the assembly and it looked to me that there's a piece of the base of the opening that has been chipped-off. It could of course be just be the way it is, i'd like to think so, but would like to hear some opinions. I've attached some images I took before replacing the new solenoid.

Here's the end of the solenoid I took out: http://imgur.com/yzuiA1l

Is this normally how it would look?
