alright, i just got done installing a 10/10 remanufactured crankshaft. installed the cam and went to install the timing chain but noticed that the crank snout doesnt have a key way like the one i took out. it had an indentation where it the keyway should be. what do i do? thanks in advance

the keys (male part that sticks out) are often removable.
