Making the notches too deep can cause a mini saw-tooth edge that can wear on the v-belt.
The only thing I do is add a touch of paint in there. I don't put a timing light on my engine all that often, so it's not a huge deal.
That's a good advice. In that case, the notches will not be made that entirely large and deep. They will be made to be big (or small) enough to be seen under a timing light. And afterwards, the sharp and rough edges of these "enlarged" notches can be chamfered by an aluminum-oxide sandpaper or a flat steel file in order that the edges will not be in contact with the belt. Finally, I could choose to either colorize these notches or not.
