My dampener pulley is so rusty I can’t even make out the marks on it

Can I run an overhead without reading the dampener

I paid someone to do it a while ago but who knows if it was done right now that I think about it

Nope, you will have to get down there with a wire brush and find the markings. Time for that damper to be replaced too, they have a life span of roughly 500,000 or so miles. They need to be painted too, multiple coats on the new one. And mark the timing lines. There is a viscous fluid internally in the damper, in time it hardens and will no longer balance the crank shaft. There is no way to test them either, replace or wait for it to blow apart...
