It's a 1.8 K series and crank damperfailure isn't common on those.
Ah, In that case, my post probably isn't much help.

I did not realise the 1800 had a pulley like that Nodge I will have to look at the wife,s car to see if that is ok
That's what seems to have happened here. I found a couple of mentions of this on an internet search.
The crankshaft timing gear seems to be an interference fit on the crank. I looked at the K-series overhaul manual. That unhelpfully simply says "remove crankshaft timing gear". Brilliant.
I'll either lever it, or use a sliding puller. But first I'll need to put the engine into "safe position" and lock the engine and cams. And if I am doing that, I might as well replace the cam belt. Not quite the 30 minute job I had originally hoped for.![]()
