Default Chips on crank pulley

I have chips on my crank pulley on the other ring. they are maybe 1/4 of an inch wide and wanted to know would it hurt anything or should i just buy a new one? im not using a/c so nothing will be running on that ring.

Should be ok, unless they are huge. That pulley has a rubber center to act as a bit of a harmonic balancer to assist the balance shafts in keeping vibration down.

Thanks for the question and answers lol.

Just got my H on the pallet from overseas and my crankshaft pulley has chips on the ring closest to the block. Forget whats on that one right this second but I was also wondering if I should replace it. Its identical to the chips in yours, as if the pulley puller they use slipped and the three points on the puller chipped the pulley.

Some pulleys will come chip like that. Mine does that too if I remember correctly.

I swapped mine for an underdrive last week, but only so I could have the PS pulley milled off for room in my eg. My OEM pulley had chips like a **** and worked fine
