After you have done a couple timing belts like I have instead of bribing service managers with sweets (see I can be a condescending asshole too), you realize that the pulley is not held in place by that key, it's held together by the torque of the crank bolt. The key is only there to time the motor. So... if you can get it back together then tighten the bolt, it should be fine.Man I'm glad you're not my mechanic, and you should be glad I'm not your customer :lol:
