Broken Woodruff Key 225 V6

My new to me Jeep died the other weekend and finally got around to figuring out what's wrong. Turns out the crankshaft timing gear was broken in two. I've already ordered a new timing set but I noticed that the part of the woodruff key was sheared off (not pictured). I saw some available online but none seemed to match this engine exactly. Any suggestions where I could get a new one?

Any replies would be much appreciated!

 

The woodruff key is broken as well (not pictured), do you know where I could find one of those? Thanks.

 

Did you look at McMaster Carr?

These keys are standard sizes, typically. Use your calipers (or buy a set of calipers) and measure it. As long as the slot in the crank is not damaged, you are ok.

If you can't find a replacement at McMaster-Carr, try TA Performance. They have a lot of engine parts for Buicks. TA Performance Products Inc. - Your Leader in Buick Automotive Parts and Accessories

This should be it.

 

Any reasonably well stocked hardware store will have what you need.

 

Before you find a new Key..........I would be more interested to understand what caused that gear to shear the key off?......Might be symptoms of a much larger problem.

 

If you don't find and fix the problem while you're in there , you'll be back in there again. Good luck!
