Sorry man.

My diagnosis too. Looks like they didn't do the proper torque and the bolts slowly backed out, causing the wobble (and sound) and damaged the bolts and the key.

They'll look and see how bad the keyway is and see if it can be saved. If not I'll need to buy an engine. Lovely. With my luck I'm going to need an engine. I'm amazed how all is fine one day and then not.
Depends on how the the keyway is. If the nose is fine, replace the pulley, the bolts, new woodruff key, the crankshaft gear and bolt it back together. It should be just fine.
