It turned out to be in the woodruff key area, but not the woodruff key. It was still intact and holding strong. I grabbed my 350ft/lbs torque wrench, pulled the radiator, threw the car in 5th and had my friend stand on the brakes. Turns out the pulley nut needed a few pulls to get it to 300lbs

So tomorrow weather and g/f permitting, im gunna be takin the nut back off, gettin some loc tite and reinstalling the nut. Shouldn't take long at all.

Since ive already ordered parts for the water pump restoration, i think im just gunna go ahead and do that because im not sure when the last time the pump was replaced and itll just be one less thing for me to worry about when i'm on my next road trip to say maybe 5erFest 06!!

Thanks guys.

I'll keep ya'll updated as i move through this issue
