What is the backround of this engine? Did you do all of this work yourself? Recheck your flywheel key, it may have sheared again due to improper tightening. Give us
some backround, like it was running fine until....I just bought it... etc.

Yes. It is amazingly easy to get it one tooth off. They don't look even close to right when the gears just begin to mesh.
