Like the subject says. I got the block from the machine shop and i noticed its missing. Will the dealer have it? If they i happen to find a place that sells woodruff keys, what size is that key?

I went to the hardware store and found the closest size that would fit into the crank sprocket, it was tricky getting it to sit in there correctly.

That's a hell ofa good idea! I sent him an email that he can call me up and borrow the az2gnt spare. Just needs to get us a replacement sometime. We're only 3 hours away, but it's a sure thing imo.

I'd try the dealer right off the bat....
If it's for a 2.0L (420a) and if all else fails, I've probably got two or three out in back of my shop in some of those ruined cranks that were in those blown up motors... I'd just have to pull the timing belt pully (real fun job), but I'd do it and fedex it to ya IF need be.....
