Crank Key

What are you guys using for your crank keys? The groove in my Crower billet appears to be different(longer) then a stock groove.

I think I used a stock key in mine. McMaster Carr sells Woodruff keys, just need to know the size.

For anyone that's interested, a Mopar performance crank key P/N 5249822 works perfect. It offers more engagement length for the crank timing gear then the stock style crank key.

For future stock crank woodruff key reference, I've use McMasters 98481A227

Machining a second groove for another woodruff key is something I am having done for engine 2, it really bothers me installing the dampener blindly with the key hidden in the front cover.

Sorry the McMasters Key 98592A227 is to short. Production block crank key shows up as PN 1352537 3/16 x 2-1/8

McMasters Key 98592A227 carbon steel and 98525A227 is alloy steel. These are for production cranks. length is OK
