Sorry to hear that, I found out a week ago that I had the same problem but 
only the key on the pulley was all broken (actually Patrick told me that 
about 4 months ago and I just realized he was right). That made the car very 
sluggish when taking off, a PITA to drive, it also made it look like the 
other pulleys attached to it were warped. I really doubt that JB weld will 
hold the pulley too long, and the problem is that if it slips off the crank 
you'll do serious damage to the engine, maybe somebody on the list has a 
better idea. I got the pulley from an aftermarket place down here in Florida 
for about $25. All I can tell you is that a new crank is expensive, I'd say 
this is the perfect excuse to buy a 2.0l shortblock. Sorry I couldn't help,
