I purchased one and had some issues so now it has nicks in it and slightly 1 bent edge.

Will this still work if I put it on or does it have to be perfectly balanced?

 

If you have to ask.... DONT DO IT!

 

Did you buy it used??? I just sold my aftermarket pulley to someone from boise. And don't install it if it has nicks or bends at all. That will throw the rotatitional mass off and cause some pretty bad damage to your motor.

 

x2. You don't want to mess with a bent pulley. if it breaks or the belts comes off. it could destroy your engine.

 

Yeah where the hell did you buy this pulley? Mine was /HAD to be perfectly smooth.
