Default Would you use this balancer?

I searched, and did not come up with anyone who had a small chip out of their balancer like I do. most of them were much larger. I'm wondering since its such a small chip if it will be OK. It is going in a mild cam 5.3 daily driver s10. I bought it online and in the pictures I can't tell there's a chip in it, although its hard to see the edges clearly in the pictures. Just wanting some others $0.02 before I try to get the seller to refund my money or ship me another one.

thats nothing. I had a big chunk out of the flange when I removed my original for a 25% reduced BBK pulley. I never knew it was damaged till we removed, must have taken a big freakin rock.

I would use it myself, It's not enough to throw off the balance it doesn't look like it will effect the belt in any way.
