crank pulley Q - stupid me

[originalsin]

ok so my originaly crank pully was pretty hammered, so dee got me a new one, putting it on (i was using a rubber mallet) i cracked a small chip off the outter most lip, its not very big, but will this screw my motor up? as in like throwing it out of balance, i think im fine but id rather check then have my bearings **** the bed

it's fine, mine looks like a lamphrey's mouth I have chipped it up so much. I would take a file to the chipped area to ensure there is no jagged edge that may cyt up your belt.

I've got two or three similar chips on mine as well...

the secret to easy on/easy off crank pulley is to sand down the conference of the bore at the center of the pulley. You want to do tis in a circular motion as well and keep testing the pulley until it can nearly fit snug without using a lubricant. The chips are not a problem.
