Oh boy Harmonic Balancer / Pulley

On the way home tonight I heard a big racket adn immediately shut down the engine. I found the front pully and the Vibration Absorber came loose. There was only a sign of one bolt of the six.

THere is no major damage, although I think several of the threaded holes in the counterweight were damaged.

I think I can get 4 of the six bolts in there.

Question....

Do you think it is safe to put it back together with 4 bolts to drive it about 50 miles to run one criticla errand and to the mechanic?

Thank you for input.

Don
