Hi, I had a timing belt break on my 4G civic, but was lucky and no major damage. As part of the repair, the crankshaft pulley had to come off, and of course that was quite difficult. One of the things we tried was to block the pulley from spinning by putting something through one of the holes on the pulley, but a small piece of the pulley (maybe 1/2"x1/2" or so) actually chipped off.

So I'm wondering how serious this may be in terms of balance of the pulley/crankshaft. It's back together and running, but i'd hate to have problems down the road because of this.

thanks!
