Who marks pulleys like this?
So in my ongoing search for oil leaks I finally got around to getting the timing belt off along with the crank pulley. Look at how someone marked this pulley. They put a weld bead right between the teeth! It was putting a noticeable wear mark on the belt. I ground it down with a dremel bit and plan to sandpaper it some tomorrow.

Of course I agree with you- its crazy to place something like this into service. Thankfully, it seems your not much worse for the wear- cogs on the belt are missing a small chunk - but not likely affecting the overall durability or performance of the belt.
Grinding off that weld probably wont hurt anything, assuming it is a misplaced blob, and not something that holds the cog onto an inner part of the assembly. Even if it was, I suspect it should have been smoothed out.
