my new cam arrived today :) however have just noticed that it does not have a notch on the end that the pulley slots onto like the standard one does.
is this a problem? or is the notch just so you put it on at the right angle for the timing marks of the standard cam?

cheers, Tom

A woodruff key.

It's a crucial bit of metal, and well worth a few pennies from the stealers if you're in any doubt about it's condition and future prospects.
