Default My crank pulley got chipped....should I replace it?

So while i was doing a swap I accidently rested the motor on the crank pulley and it chipped it where the PS belt goes on... is this a really big concern? Should I replace it right away or will it be okay?

Thanks guys!

a chipped crank pulley will no lobger be balanced and is detrimental to throw off your oil pump...in other words i would replace it before turning that motor over..

I replaced mine for the exact same reason. It will tend to chew up your PS belt too.

Mine has two chips. CRAP. Is it possible to get is rebalanced? What other options are there?

Great another $150 for the car. Why not, I've spent $4000 on it already this year.
