...Torque the crankshaft timing belt pulley back down to 84 ft lbs...Use the threadlocker goo...
Hopefully the woodruff key hasn't bit into the crank nose too bad yet...quickmetal goo can repair that, if you let it sit for like 48 hours with the key bonding into the damaged keyway...
God this design flaw pisses me off...I'm all for the 1.6's but the window for the long noses is '91.5 - and beyond...
Anyway...try goo-repairing it...
Depending on the degree to which it is damaged it could come out as good as new...really...not kidding, just some quickmetal compound...maybe a new woodruff key...
Good Luck with the sale. I often wish for a cash fairy visit...but it wont return my calls...
