How retarded is this.......

!!!!!

Broken a woodruff key and worn out the end of the crank? No problem, just weld the bottom pulley on!!!

Except you can't change the cam belt!! OK, maybe you've got 60,000 miles till it becomes an issue if you've just changed the belt, but surely you make sure its welded on straight so the new owners first job isn't a new crankshaft to stop the fan belts falling off as fixed on so pi$$ed!!!
