It has a key way slot but since the stock one doesnt have one that means i can just put the powerbond on however i want right..It doesnt need to line up with anything?

There is another one that was in common with many timing chain breaks. I can't remember which one right now and really can't be bothered searching for it.

Powerbond is NOT associated with chain damage... I have one and it works very well. YES,, you can install it in any position that you desire.

It does have the key way and I added a pin to the crank snout to be able to utilize the key way:

The one you are thinking of is ASP.

I have installed a couple of Powerbonds. They seem to be well made units and the keyway can be used with the ATI pin kit, which is a nice feature. I have never seen data the damping performance of the Powerbond however.
