Well done in finding the problem. If my memory is half as
good as Hagars then we previously discussed that some cranks
have a woodruff key and some have a lug on the pulley that
is soft as shit and can sheer off making a mess of the
engine ... my solution was to cut a groove where the lug on
the pulley was and create a true woodruff slot for a true
woodruff key.
Chicken and egg did the cam slippage cause the lug to strip?
(or was it lug first; which IMO less likely) which STILL
means that you need to keep an eye on the cam area...
