no keyway on eagle crank? *pic*
I went to install my crank gear today, it slid all the way on and spins freely. There is nothing on the crank to engage the keyway on the gear. Shouldn't this area be raised instead of recessed?

what do you think about this idea. I could drill and tap two small holes on the crank gear and snout and use set screws to hold it together? I wouldn't think it would mess with the balance really since any metal removed from the drilling would be replaced by the screws.

Ive got some pics of the key in this thread. FWIW make sure that damn thing is seated right.
