I used a 4 gram hc bolt on the tip of the weight without putting a washer under its head. The bolt tip made a approx 1,2mm groove in the spider pocket all the way the weight shifts. Should I stop using the outer sheave immediately?
I would not run that clutch with that type of damage...you must have seen picture of what kind of damage a clutch can cause...let alone the personal injuries...not worth it...IMO...a hood, guard cover or worse even your life or your buddies standing next to you when you launch that sled...

1-2mm is not much. I had to clearance my spider .020-.030 to run more tip weight and have not had any promlems.

there goes a couple hundred bucks there Adrian.What are you doing?Do you have alot of slop in the bushings on the weights.
No Henriette, the bolt was too long. There isn't too much slop in the bushings.
2 things to consider . . .
First structural integrity, and then balance. If these 2 are ok, I would run it. However chances are good that it may be out of balance now.

you make a lot of money Adrian.what is $200 anyways to you.lol
I mean the spider.. that's what needs to be replaced, not the sheave. Because the spider pockets are on the spider...

As I said 1-2mm is not that much. If all three did it the same then balance should not be an issue.
