It probably wouldnt like before since the timing belt wouldnt be riding directly on it (from seized waterpump), but I reinforced it with plumbing solder. It doesnt look pro but ill feel much better about it staying on now.
I'd be more concerned with throwing the pulley way out of balance more than the solder failing to hold the ring on. Nothing like a nice hard vibration to wear out that timing belt in a month (or worse, get it to jump teeth and make the engine run like ass, if at all).
