You will need also to check the flywheels for neutral balance. Did you mark its position on the crank? If they are not neutrally balanced you will need to match balance them so that the one you are installing matches the crank on the engine you are using.

Most likely it is neutrally balanced but you need to be sure because if it is not you will have big problems if you install a mismatched flywheel on the engine.

And I agree the scuff is not in an area which will cause any trouble.
