Default assembling motor, wondering about crank pulley key(s)

Are there two keys on the crankshaft pulley? The Honda bible shows one but its not long enough to reach the outer crankshaft pulley, its holding the inner gear to the crankshaft. I dont remember seeing one there when i took it off at all. I just dont think the crank bolt could hold the crankshaft pulley in place without a key.

This little key is holding back the whole swap gotta get the car out of the garage

the little key is a little less than half the width of the timing gear pully and there is only one key for it, don't worry about it holding the other cranshaft pulley cause its not suppose to.

Just put the crank pulley back on and the key and your all set.

Thanks for the help. I went and bought another one just in case. I had to get some other parts at the dealer anyways. Now i can finally get the motor in and start "testing"

OBD1 cars have one keyway and the timing belt drive gear has a notch that replaces the need for a second keyway, therefore only 1 keyway is used to drive the crank pulley. On 96+ motors there is a second keyway since the timing belt drive gear does not have the keyway notch like the OBD1, instead it has a 2nd keyway which slides into the timing belt gear plus another keyway for the crank pulley.
