Crankshaft Pulley Problem

[Cartzo]

So I replaced the timing set on my 22re. While I was putting it back together I noticed the small metal half moon type thing in the crank was missing. It is what locks the crank pulley in place on the crankshaft. I have no idea what happened to it and am wondering if anyone has fixed something like this before. I can't find anything on google about it. I'm thinking about just shaping some steel at my work to slide into it. I'm sure it has to be a tight fit though... Any insight is appreciated.

Its a woodruff key. If your luck you can get one at the hardware store or parts store, but might be a dealer item.

yeh, that shouldn't be too hard to get.

are you sure it didn't fall out when you took it apart?

I had a hell of a time finding one at hardware or parts stores to fit the power steering pulley, I doubt you'll find one for the crank pulley either. I ended up buying an oversized one and took my dremel flap wheel to it until it fit right.

I didn't ask at the dealer, I don't know what they'd charge for one.

any engine rebuilding shop should have those, or at least be able to get them.

if you PM me your address I'll mail you a new one for free. I have a an extra from my 5vz and I think it's the same part.

I'm sure it fell out when I took it apart. I'm thinking it got vacuumed up or something. There is no way I'm going to find it.

I'll see what they say at the dealer thanks guys.

LCE says it is the same part. They have them pretty cheap too.
