I wouldnt worry to much about that chip in the crank, Just stick a new key in there along with a new pulley if you'rs is f-ed up.

basically the key way is thrashed even more then the pics look like. And we want to know what everyone thinks of just ------- welding that damn crank pulley to the crank itself?? The crank is obviously garbage and he plans on tearing it apart in the future to build it, then we will just replace the crank anyways. This is his daily driver and we dont want that ---- to break again until he ripps the engine out so what u guys think about it.

the crank is trash. With a good bit of material taken out of it, its no longer in balance. If its his daily, and you want to do things on the cheap, i'd recommend using a square file to get that keyway in some condition where you can put a woodruff key in there, even if its loose. Then grab a new pulley and dont rev it too high

I'd run it. With the amount of torque on that bolt the pulley isnt going anywhere as long as it is torqued properly. And whats the worst that would happen? Youll be suck where you are now.

My crank pulley bolt loosened up on me and fell off along with the whole pulley one time at a stoplight. that sucked it really pissed me off, scrambling across the intersection looking for the bolt. just stuck it back on with a half assed busted up key, tightened it finger tight right there in the road and drove it home :1
