89 240 Replace or Keep Worn Crank Timing Belt Guide 200

Hello Everyone:

I recently had my 1989 240 balancer get loose.
I then found that the crank timing gear index pin/key that
indexes to the balancer had sheared of.
So, I bought a new crank timing gear and while starting the
install I noticed that part of the old timing gear index pin / key
was still stuck in the front belt guide / guard.
I tried to get it all out but ended up with what I see as a
curved index pin/key slot - please photo.
It looks like it could cause the timing to be off a least a few
degrees because it appears curved -- or perhaps I am wrong.
That is to say when I go in to align everything , the Timing Index Mark - the little V slot at the top of the belt guard might be off because of
the curve I see in the index key/ pin slot.
Question - does this appear to be significant and should this item be replaced?

Thanks for your input..
