That just looks like a blemish from a sharpie. Can you get a close up macro shot of it?
I can't tell if that crack goes anywhere either?
If it doesn't go anywhere, he can cut it out and press in an insert for the same valve size. Then just lap it to your valves (and cut the right seat angles) and bobs your uncle.
