Default Pilot bearing chipped. Should I replace it?
I pulled the motor today as I want to paint it. After I pulled the motor and trans apart, I was looked in the pilot bearing and noticed a couple small broken pieces. It looks like when I was putting mating them up, the input shaft hit the inside of the face of the bearing and broke off small pieces. It looks like all the needle bearing are fine and none are missing. Should I replace the bearing or will it be fine? I've attached some pics so you can see the damage.

Thanks in advance.
