Default Pulley Damage, would you run it?

Hi Guys,

Just purchased this pulley and am wondering if you guys would run this on your cars? My main concern is the balance of the pulley.

Whats worth more the pulley or the engine?

Toss it and buy a new one,$299.00 or so isn't unreasonable in the grand scheme of things.

I would be concerned about the damage you can't see...based on the damage you can see.

Not a good idea not worth the risk of chewing up a motor.
