Pulley scratch replace or repair?
Damper pulley
Hello friends,
In the process of reinstalling a new water pump, One of the three bolts holding the pulley to the pump broke. Additionally, I scratched the pulley slightly with the home made removal tool I created for this install.
My questions are as following: Would the balance of the pully compromised due to the scratch? Is it appropriate to replace the bolts with simple hex type bolt rather than the flange type? I have at hand some nice stainless steel hex bolt with size appropriate lock washers.
Please advise,
Gorge

The scratch was not very deep. I sand the area and repaint. I also used grade 10 bolts from autozone.
I now have water leaking from the thermostat area. I truly hope that is not something major. I applied 28 foot pounds of torque to t he thermostat housing. Should give I tightener a bit more?
Please advice,
George
