Two ways to look at imperfections/shortcuts or whatever you want to call them when assembling an engine or anything really:

-Run it and more than likely be fine.

-Run it and if you do by chance have an issue wonder if it was the imperfection and constantly question your decision to run it.

At the end of the day there is way more room for error in an engine than an inexperienced person may think but that is not to say you can be a sloppy hack and get away with it.

You can run it like it is and question the eyebrow or you can bore it and question the strength of the cylinder wall. Run it and move on if it were mine. Only reason the eyebrow is visible is because it was rigid honed. Lots of people dingle ball their engine so they don't see the imperfections.
