Would you run this camshaft?

This is a Tomei camshaft for my SR20DET. The problem lies on the exhaust cam on the opposite end of the cam gear. There is a small chip measuring less than a 1/16" wide and less than an 1/8" long there. Do you see any problems running the camshaft? I dont see a problem because it has no torque on this end of the camshaft. I dont see any reason for it to crack or chip any more. Any ideas or comments? If need be Ill order another one but if it looks fine to run it I think I will. Thanks

Re: Would you run this camshaft?

i'd run it but what i would do is wrap some tephlon tape around the key...not alot just a little bit so that when you set the key down it would not shake..if it rocks it could cause it to chew away slowly...my crank had the same problem...but i used some tape to make sure the key was perfect tight and torqued the crank pulley bolt to specs and havent had a problem since
