Congratulations !
NO ! The crankshaft pulley should show NO signs of vibration.
This had best be looked into before it gets a lot more expensive.
Main point with the valve cover vent repair is cleanliness.

Plastic scrapers, brass / copper brushes etc, then clean real good with alcohol.
BE CAREFUL WITH THE SCREWS, THEY ARE ALUMINUM !
