Harmonic Balancer keyway??

I just added an underdrive pulley to my car and there wasn't a keyway in the stock pulley. Why?? That kind of freaks me out and makes me a little worried!! When did they start doing this?

4th gens didn't have a keyway either. I only see keyways in aftermarket cranks.

It's not an externally balanced motor. The lower pulley is just a harmonic dampener, not a balancer as was the SB and BB of old

LS motors since 1997 have not been keyed.

Most of the time the only ones you will see keyed are FI engines and its not from the factory.

Correct. My 98 has no key way and it freaked me out.
