OCV solenoid replacement, something's a miss

Hi folks, new guy here, I just finished replacing my VVT solenoid on my toyota vios (it's essentially a sedan yaris running on the same 2NZ-FE engine for the 2006 model) 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 VVT 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.

I'm also looking to clean the OCV filter but i'm not sure where it is on the 2NZ, anybody can please post a pic of where it is relative to the solenoid? A manual of the 2NZ would also be super useful.

Car's just about to hit 110k miles on it now. It's my daily commuter and I'd like to keep it going for at least another 3-5 years.

Thanks!

Edit: Sorry about the large images, most forums would resize these automatically. Here's a few more images

For some reason the original post was deleted, probably the images being too big, sorry about that, so I'm doing a repost here.


Hi folks, new guy here, I just finished replacing my OCV solenoid on my 2006 toyota vios, it's practically a sedan yaris which they market in southeast asia with the same 2NZ-FE engine. Did this 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 and a picture of the end of the old solenoid I took out.

I'm also looking to replace my OCV filter but I'm not sure where that is on the 2NZ, if somebody can take a photo of it relative to the OCV solenoid that'd be super helpful.

Thanks for the would be help!

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.
