Quick question for you guys. Could 2 small (about a centimeter in size) chips on the outside portion of a fluidampr pulley cause any bearing wear? I was installing my motor and the pulley hit against the left side of the engine bay and cause very tiny chips. On my old old OEM pulley, I had a pretty big size chunk missing which I believe cause a spun rod bearing.

I am hoping these very tiny chips shouldn't cause a problem on the fluidampr. I would hate to have to buy another brand new one.

Thanks

EDIT:

Well, after looking it closely. It turns out it's just the very outer edge of the pulley is bent slightly. Can't even notice it without looking upclose. I think I should be ok.
