Im concerned that it may have sheared? I will try to get a better pic tomorrow of the crank.



Looks sheared. Not good. Maybe I missed something, whats the purpose of the teardown? Are you looking to repair a problem (timing belt doesn't look messed up at first glance) You will need to get that pin out of the end of the crank snout and the balancer and replace it.


The sheared pin is part of the crank timing belt pulley, the snout should be fine.
Woodruff key times the crank pulley and that pin times the harmonic balancer. You probably need a new crank pulley, I don't think that pin was designed to be replaceable.
