Hi, I have fkd the key for the pully on the crank from hitting it on too hard multiple times, it's a red 202 from my vb and have a red202 from a HJ sitting around. Do they have the exat same crank so I can swap it over. Stupid question but I like to make sure before I go through the trouble of ripping a good engine down

The actual keyway piece or the crank slot?

If it is in fact the keyway, I'd just purchase a length of keysteel close to original and go from there. Made a few keyways in my time. Cheap and simple, considering the time and effort required to swap crankshafts.

Thanks for the info but I would rather replace it, I won't take long, just need to make sure they are the same, need the timing cover off it anyway

Ok, that's fair enough.

In relation to your original question, yes the crankshafts are the same.

The old red motors didn't change much below head gasket level from EH to VB, apart from the performance engines. I'm pretty sure an HJ crank and a VB crank will be the same. The real changes came from VC onwards with the blue motors.
