Default crankshaft pulley spins freely

I just picked up a low miles B16A3 block and noticed the crankshaft pulley is spinning freely. I put my hand behind the pulley and the keyway does not feel chipped as far as I can tell.

Is there anyway I can check before removing the pulley?

Should I replace #15 and #16 along with the key?

if it just spins freely , and the bolt is tight , thats no good , lol. might have just sheared the keyway , hopefully. use a chain wrench to hold the pully and take the nut off. than youl see whats going on. if the timing gear itself is broken up , than youl need part #15.

I hope it is only the key and not a chipped crank keyway.. There is no way to tell without removing the crank pulley?

i told you how to pull it when you asked me dude , use a chain wrench(over top of a piece of belt or somin so not to damage pully if i didnt mention that before) it will work fine.

the block is bare, no head attached, no flywheel attached.. I don't see how a chain wrench could stop the crank from spinning

Won't matter if he can't hold it still.

AT OP:
Jam it up, there's tons of ways.

lol, i'm working on it.. I have no impact gun and the block is in my apartment (2nd floor)

it would be a serious pain in the *** to carry it down stairs, drive it to a shop, and then back up the stairs just to remove a bolt.
