well noticed an excessive wobble of the crank pulley. pulled it off to find where the keyway is, its missing a chunk of steel. i need ideas on fixing because i dont have the money to replace the engine.

this is actually common to be honest,

i usually just put a new key in a new pully if needed, a extra washer between the bolt and pulley, red loc tight and tighten the pis out of it with my impact... last car i did that 2 have had over 9k put on it since i did that

she lives! cut the new keyway and slapped it back together. took forever considering i had to pull the t belt off. but at least it runs and drives now. thanks for the help 4door you saved my ass with that part delivery.
