damaged crank snout
Im in the midst of doing a headgasket, timing belt etc job on a 96 Integra. I got the head off and machined, and upon removal of the crank pulley i found this... I had this on my own personal car as well, but was able to just put it back together w/a new key and pulley
Im curious if theres anything aside from replacing the crank/engine that can be done to save this.
Also, what causes this? Ive never had a crank pulley just come loose, but I have seen them wobble, which I assume is the rubber wearing out.

Yes. Crankshaft should be able to be repaired. I had a crankshaft damaged in a similar way from an aftermarket aluminum crank pulley. It rounded the keyway and the crank pulley would wobble like a ****. I found a local crankshaft repair shop in the Houston area and they repaired it. I can't remember what they charged but I think it was reasonable like maybe a hundred bucks or so.
Just make sure after they weld it that they don't cut it a 180 degrees out like they did mine. I had a helluva time trying to set base ignition timing lol.
