Curious:  Timing the engine on the TR3A, I noticed a chunk is missing, broken 
off.  Doesn't seem to affect the ability to turn the belt, though.  

I know the original fan was balanced.  So, my question is, would a piece that's 
maybe two inches wide by maybe 1 deep, affect crank balance such that it causes 
much harm?  ...At a minimum, can I drive another few weeks before snowfall 
without damage?
