Out of time = engine knock?

Out of time = engine knock?
I flipped my Scrambler in a creek a few weeks ago. After hydrolocking, it seemed to have a rod knock. I have the engine tore down to the crankcase ready to pull the flywheel. I put my wheel puller on and couldn't crank anymore. I then used the impact and the puller fingers broke. I thought wow, this thing is tight. I looked closer and the flywheel key is crushed and twisted. It looks like the wheel turned slightly. I called my dealer and he said that would have to be pressed off, but being out of time could cause a knock. He said a backfire or hydrolock can twist that wheel. Could this little key be my big problem?

Sounds like it could be a problem. I know those flywheels can be very tough to get off sometimes. If you are using a harmonic balancer puller, which works well, replace the cheap bolts with some good ones and with a good strong impact gun, It should pop right off if the key isn't severly damaged.
