Default basic crankshaft question..

i did a little searching and found somewhat of i want to hear but i want to hear it from others on here just to make me feel really sure..

my crank pulley came loose the other day and i just got around to fixing it today. well i was wondering if the crankshaft is splined just like the pulley is?? i read that the shaft is not splined but it just seems weird.. so am i correct on this or do i need a new shaft?? thanks!

The shaft is not splined, there is a keyway in it, with a key that holds the pulleys in place.

if that keyway is stripped out, you either need a new crankshaft, or get that one welded and machined again. If the keyway is fine, you should be ok, as long as the bolt threads in and torques properly.

Yep, no splines just a keyway for Woodruff key.
