I doubt it's that loose! if it is then some really sloppy mechanic worked on the engine!
I've seen damaged slots in the keyways on the hold down rings from mechanics who tried tightening and slipped or used the wrong tool. A few tiny PC bubbles isn't going to hurt anything. I have a small stream of bubbles on one of mine and I don't worry at all.
