Reluctor wheel nick ok to run?

Is this ok to put back in the car? Damn slip of the cutoff wheel.
Not sure my local engine builder has the jig to replace.
thanks for comments

Should be OK. The outer part that gets read by the sensor does not look affected, as long as the wheel itself did not get out of line.

You’re good. That’s just relief, it doesn’t get read by the sensor.

It’s hard to see but it did nick the corner of the small tooth. Still think it’s ok? I don’t know how picky the crank sensor is. I would assume that as long as it sees a tooth pass it should be ok, but?

I'd take a chance on it and I'm super fussy.

I'd run it, the tooth the sensor reads looks like it wasn't affected. If it was bent or shorter there would be a problem.
