Ok, this on'es not as common, and i haven't foundit listed anywhere...so...

for all of you who have done your own timing belt, when you're reassembling the engine, etc.., did you reuse your woodruff key for the crank pulley to crank shaft, or did you replace it?

Another question, for anyone who might know - since our cranks are prone to the front snout breaking off, and we know is a cast crank...is there another VG engine that had a forged crank, that we could swap in...maybe from a VG30DETT, or something?

 

I didn't replace my woodruff key since its less than $0.50 why not? You can get a crank from a VG30ET, its supposed to be stronger than a normal VG30E crank.
