Are my crank and key OK?

My crank pulley came loose and this is what the pulley and crank and key look like. I think the pulley needs replacement as the keyway looks worn. How does everything else look? Is this the way the key is supposed to look?
Thanks.
Bill

Looks like that key should be able to pop out of there and didn't mess up the keyway on the crank. I'd get a new key for it, use threadlock (I forgot what I used) and also replace the crank pulley with a true one just to be safe. They're cheap enough to pick up used anyway.

Thanks Nate.
Does the key look OK like it is? Do I need to replace it?
I can replace the pulley with minimal disassembly, but I think I would need to perform further teardown and remove the timing belt gear to remove and replace the key. Is that correct?

Yes, you would have to take the timing belt sprocket off, I feel it is worth getting a new key and installing it. That key looks pretty borked up. They are supposed to be nice and square with sharp edges.

Yes, I was wondering if the key tip was worn and needing replacement, or normally shaped with a rounded tip.
I will look into replacing it.

What he said. It really needs to be replaced unfortunately.
