Norton Key, Camshaft Sprocket
A small locating key that fits the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft in the timing gear area.
This is the Woodruff-style key that locates the camshaft sprocket on the camshaft, part number 00-0572. It shows up in the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, camshaft and timing gear section of the parts books, so it lives down in the timing chest area doing the job of keying the sprocket to the shaft so it can't rotate independently once torqued down.

It's a small, easy to overlook piece, but if it shears or goes missing your cam timing goes with it. Worth checking whenever the timing cover is off and the sprockets are out, since it's cheap insurance in terms of labor even if it's a five-minute part to inspect.
