i would imagine so. it would tighten and loosen the belt causeing more and less pressure on the crank. i can only see bad coming out of this.

ANYTHING bent will cause problems to your engine...

Usually starts as vibration... best recommendation is that if you have to ask, just get it fixed...

if it is bent, that means that it is no longer balanced... and that is why you will get vibrations in your engine... think about your tires... if you bent a rim, it can throw off the balancing causing the wheel to vibrate...

get it fixed...

It would have to be "seriously" bent to be felt as "engine" vibration. Is it going to hurt your engine? No. Does it due the bearings in your P.S pump any good? No.... Would I leave it alone and ignore it? No

Now, if we were talking a bent or cracked harmonic balancer/pully,,, that could cause vibration/engine issues in the long run.
