REGULAR REPLACEMENT OF THE BOLT RECOMMENDED
The failure starts at the BOLT. It is undertorqued, overtorqued (stretching and yielding it), or the bolt creeps (stretches or fatigues) over time loosening the connection. An overtorqued bolt can not only stretch but cause the crankshaft threaded end inside diameter to expand. So even a fresh bolt may not retain it's torque. In any case as the bolt loosens the key, keyway, and timing cog take a beating. Only the crankshaft shoulder and timing cog can take the loads of operation. When the bolt becomes loose, the load shifts from the crankshaft shoulder to the other parts which rapidly self destruct.
Yes, most of the fault lies with the weak design that asks too much of that bolt. For this reason, the solution is NOT to leave the bolt untouched. That bolt is becoming older and older everyday. Every time you start the engine, the risk for failure increases. The bolt should be on a regular replacement schedule. I would recommend annually.
The bolt can be removed and inspected, the key can be slid out (sometimes) and examined without any other disassembly of the engine. I have a special socket I shortened with a grinder so I can remove the pulley bolt without removing the front anti-roll bar. If you ever find the bolt has not retained its torque, ferrous powder on the bolt or key, or the key rusted or smooshed, these are signs that the system is starting to fail. Sometimes a wobble can be seen when the engine is running. A wasted crankshaft keyway may, however, still rotate without runout. The static tension in the timing belt and accessory belts usually prevents a human hand from wobbling the lower pulley with the engine off. The only way to get a read on the crankshaft condition is to take the system apart.
If everything is in order, clean up the crankshaft and bolt shoulder seating surface with brake cleaning spray. Toothbrush the inside of the crankshaft threaded hole. Apply Loctite thread locker or sleeve retainer to a new bolt. Install NEW bolt and key. Torque to 87 foot pounds.
THERE IS A LOCTITE REPAIR
Recognizing that many people can't afford to replace their engine or crankshaft, I will mention that there are successful repairs involving shims, new keys, welding and the like. Probably the best repair is a Loctite fix that has been developed with the direct assistance of Loctite engineers.
