(Inter)esting.

I've asked Barry Stickland (NOC cammy adviser) to answer this for you.

Never seen it myself and my Inter frame whislt similar does not have it either.

I know that people would put a kink in the bottom right frame rail of a featherbed when they fit a Goldstar engine into it as clearance for the oil pump...
