B230 round tooth crank gear

Evening

I don't have one but I can maybe track it down for you

Leave it with me

The key is just for convience alignment before torquing the crank bolt

There is a procedure to set it without the key if you don't want to bother with a replacement

I can get a new one in for you, just let me know.

@Philia_Bear if that is true, why would the key break in the first place?

B230 8V performance/hardened round tooth crank gear with key - $114.50

Can supply a new genuine Volvo one too if you prefer but I wont have pricing on that or understanding how quickly I can have one until tomorrow.

@Philia_Bear if that is true, why would the key break in the first place?

Dropping the gear or most frequently from not having enough torque on the crank bolt and then turning over the motor causing a sheer fracture

Its just like the alignment pin on the camshaft... its there for easy alignment.... nothing else

Whilst it is true, you do not NEED alignment pins on camshafts or in this case the nub on the crankshaft gear, putting an engine together without them is dodgy.

It makes life more confusing when changing cam belts, and it wastes the next mechanics time when he wonders why the timing marks are nowhere near alignment eluding to the possibility that the crankshaft pulley vibration damper has slipped between the rubber and metal section. Without the rectangle guide nub there is no reference to TDC using the mark on the pulley

In summary you do not technically need to make the gears align, but if you're going to do a job, why not do it 100% proper
