I ask because I just got a call from my brother who is changing one. There is no key but there is a slot on the crank and a notch on the pulley.
Thanks

The slot on the crank is a machining for a woodruff key but its for the timing chain sprocket further inward.
When I bought my car someone had obviously thought that the pulley should have had a key so they had made one which was fractionally too big causing the pulley not to seat correctly which took me a while to sort out.
I do ponder why the pulley didn't have a woodruff key it wouldn't have needed to be bolted up so tight.
