Default Coolant ports blocked?

Is this right? Haven't seen it before but two ports on the LIM are blocked, not with dex-cool or some miracle in a bottle stuff but appears to be from the factory.

i know on my 04 imp with the SC the intake passages are blocked like yours mine were ate up a little from the coolant so i tigged them to fill them in a little. this was a few years ago. not sure if the block has the passages and not all intakes use them so they just block them in the intakes or what. but its "normal" and no need to worry about it

Ok, thanks. I finally found a few pics of the underside of the LIM and it appeared that those were blocked too. Even after I reassembled I was wondering if I should've tried harder to clear those passages.
