Pitted?

I have a 2000 Litespeed Classic with look fork and Profile Stem.The Headset is threaded and it seems to bind when the wheel is exactly straight ahead,rather its llike a notch,or indentation the headset falls into.The rest of the headset movement is completely smooth.When I received the bike the headset was very stiff and I loosened it so it is much smoother now however this little "notch"remains.In no way does it impair bike function when riding and I'm sure that even if it is an imperfection or defect I can ignore it I"d just like to know if it's normal or indeed a defect.Perhaps the previous owner overtightened so the headset is pitted?Thanks.
