Opinions on this crank please
Take a look at this Merc crank, Ross pointed out a similar one on the HAMB with a casting sprue flaw and comments were that it was normal.
Would anyone have huge concerns with running this crank, assuming everything else checked out?

My 239 crank that I just had ground has a very similar flaw. No issues and the crank grinder said it was fine.

It seems that the method of removing the casting sprue was to knock it off with a BFH rather than cut it off.
