Big problems - my shaking was a broken crankshaft!

The HB is some what press fit, it’s not a matter of if it will fail, but when.
its not for alignment for any sort of timing, other than its location for reference.
its does serve as a form of anti-rotation, but the woodruff key is made to shear.
it could last forever or till something creates enough force to impact the repair....in any event, it’s cheaper than the
alternative.The pulley and belts are what creates any undue rotational force.
run it till she blows I always say...

We all fix things differently, and opinions vary in numbers equivalent to as many a$$holes are out there, so bottom line is that I’m super happy you fixed this in a way that worked for you.

Ultimately I felt you were going to trash a potentially good motor. I’m happy you didn’t trash it just yet.

Enjoy not just the truck, but also the moneys you saved by keeping your engine.

the fix he used is one many have used...loctite makes some excellent epoxies for just such an occasion
an old 6.2 is not worth much in respects for what you can get a good running takeout for.
motors are an easy drop in fix, even for the shade tree mechanic.
