Hello Blade
I have the same problem with one of my Isuzu Trooper diesels.
Like you I thought about spot welding a new key on the pulley and the
crank. I haven't done it yet because I found another Trooper to use as
my work truck, but also because I keep hoping to find a better
solution to the sloppy pulley issue. I did buy a new(ish) harmonic
dampener and timing pulley but it came loose again after 1000 miles.
So for me that wasn't worth the hassle. Luckily someone came up with
used parts so I could see if it was going to fix it or not.
Someone else mentioned that the is a thin mallible metal strip which
can be wedged in between the crank and pulleys and tight it up, but I
haven't seen this for myself.
Hope this helps
