Crank Key Sticking Out

Crank Key Sticking Out
Putting my 350 back together and the original crank Key is sticking out beyond the face of the crank. What's going on here? Is it possible the crankshaft is out of position or what?

You can fiddle with it and flip it around in different positions to see if it will go flush. It has nothing to do with crank position it simply sits in a slot. Again, if you don't want to fiddle with it simply grind a bit off. Put some lube on the seal and balancer before sliding it in.

The balancer bottoms against the crank gear and oil slinger. There is clearance between the tip of the crank and the inside flange on the balancer. This is a non-issue. Put the balancer on, torque the bolt, and stop worrying about this.
