Polycarb piston base baddly chippped

Me again (see post http://airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?p=1693316)

Playing in my gearbox in search of the culprit of my fps loss, I found that my piston has a chunk that broke off near the base of it, see photo:



Full resolution photo here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/spw9q8e0qi...stonBroken.jpg

The teeth are like a strip of metal that's embedded in the body of the piston, so things seems to hold pretty tight as it is anyways but I'm wondering:

Can I afford to keep it as it is? I'm tempted is it doesn't look THAT bad.
What could have caused this? The gear doesn't seem to have suffered from this in any ways

Thanks for your inputs
