Friends and I went on another trip to the hills just recently, and the odyssey lasted about 2 hours. Flywheel key was sheared again. This is the second time this has happened, so I'm thinking there must be too much damage done to the flywheel.
Picture below confirms my suspicions and shows the rounded lip on the key way and scoring from the broken keys. Definitely will be needing a flywheel either way. Toying with the idea of machining the key way a little deeper and making a taller key.
Thoughts?
Give it up, the keyway is mushroomed. In my opinion you're done.
This thing has to be accurate because of timing. Some members here run an offset key to advance the timing but it is very little offset. I asked for a drawing in a post I did on it but nobody has supplied one.
You could de-rivet this thing and play around with fixing the keyway but it would be very time consuming. Also it looks like the taper is scared up as well from the key rolling over. It might be better to get a new flywheel. There are lots on feebay for $30 to $50 so not really worth fooling around.

I forgot to mention I also found this video where someone made a rear shock saver link for an odyssey. I will definitely do this to my odyssey now that I know it's possible.
It looks like the skid plate would have to be removed or cut to fit the new bracket, but that's not a problem
Looks like he did a very nice job on that.
I think the chain idea is a lot simpler and easier. Just my opinion.

EDIT: If the key rolled in the flywheel it rolled on the crank. So what does the crank look like ??
