Agreed, but not sure why, as in what's the point of it being keyed?

So that the ECU see's the crankshaft position correctly

And its all done by the bolt /hole spacing. There will be only one position where ALL the bolts will go in easily without ANY interference.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

How much interference will there be?
Could anyone get the bolts in if they tried hard enough - without resorting to drills, files etc.

No, they're offset and not in a symmetrical pattern. That's how most cars do it. I'm not actually sure why, since surely you could
have a key or dowel which would do the job just as well, and seems an easier manufacturing solution?

Thanks for the encouragement,
I only ask as one of mine was tighter than the others.
It must have been a dirty thread.

a woodruff key or other type of keyway could'nt or should be used on a flywheel as its a high load item for short periods ie starting he car
keyways/woodruff keys do where & can work loose which usually scrappd the componant
i did think it was a non symetrical bolt pattern its not instantly noticable on a zetec flywheel that it is'nt symetrical
time to fidde this weekend to see if ican get the cheapo motor up & running aslong as i can get hold of a starter motor i'm good to go
