rotary gear on the crankshaft

[95xp720]

i am rebuilding my 720 motor out of a 95 XP. The gear on the crankshaft in the center has some marring on a few of the teeth. Can i still reuse that crankshaft or does it need to be rebuilt?

Depends on what your definition of "some" and "marring" is... Sometimes, you can get away with a small file and remove all the burrs, sometimes, not..

its not that the gear itself is marred...it looks like some of the brass gear on the rotary shaft melted onto the gear on the crankshaft

Then I would say no.. Without seeing a pic. If there is bad enough damage, you could end up popping a RV gear..
