m20b28 crank spacer

[MikeM20]

Hi, the crank spacer for an m20b28 is free to rotate or blocked by the shaft key ? (without tight the crankshaft bolt)
Mine is free and I try to find a way to fit it but maybe is not required
What do you think ?
Thank you

i put some loctitie bearing retaining compound on mine to help seal and retain it in place then the big crank bolt crushes the gear against it with many tons of force when you tighten it up. i dont think it had a keyway in it so you needed to remove the keys before sliding it on

OK, thank Reggid, you're right maybe strong loctite is enought !!
