I personally don't put one back in but it would not be hard to make one just for indexing purposes.  I have seen the steel one break part of the taper off the crank shaft and make it unusable.

the intek uses a normal briggs key, only the vanguard in briggs, uses the half moon.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

Thanks for the info. Going to make a aluminum key. Should be pretty easy. Don't want to risk messing up the crank if something does wrong. :lol:
