Not trying to hate on anyone, but welding the gear to the crank is a last-ditch fix to keep a wrecked crank going.
Better to fix it before it gets that bad in my opinion.
And to the OP.
If I understand you right, the key moving is what messed you up?
I have used a tiny drop of glue to hold it in place on a tight assembly...but be careful in case you ever have to work on it again.
Just a TINY DROP will do the trick to hold a loose key secure.
If it moves, stop and re-do until the gear seats correctly.

Yeah they key was to big for the seat so i filed it down thought i had it but obviously not. of course like i said i have been riding it with out the key. Luckily the shaft looks fine. But yes I am looking into a new engine to kind of start fresh as this was my first build. Going with Thats Dax.
1. I did use the search button. 2. i posted pics so maybe people could see the melted seal.... No one has discredited you. 3. There isn't much info on my situation. What is your problem.? Maybe you should stop replying to my threads. Just saying. That might solve a lot of your angst

Keep in mind you may have to file the key so the gear will slide over it as well as getting it to fit the slot....
Sounds like you're close so just keep at it.
All the headaches fade when you go for a ride....
