I can't believe how hard it is to find locally a 3/16" x 1 3/4" woodruff key for the crankshaft on my 351M (P.O. partially disassembled it and lost the key). Tried several auto parts stores & hardware stores. Idiot at NAPA told me he never heard of a key for the harmonic balancer, because his Honda didn't have one.

Anyway, I ended up disassembling a 460 I have in my garage to steal the key, so I can get the 351M back together.

Where can I buy a new key?

 

Try an automotive machine shop.

 

summit sells them. 25 of them for $15.

Paul,

Thank you for the offer, your generosity is appreciated. But I think I'm good with the key I "borrowed" from my spare engine. In the meantime I will buy a replacement.
