Re: B25 con rod B44 piston
Over rev a B25 and the con rod will probably break anyway (or the push rods will flex and jump), but I think it is either the crank end that fails near where the oil hole was, or they snap below the small end eye, I don't think the eye fails too often.

Re: woodruff keys
Woodruff keys are not intended to be load bearing, well, not normally, they should be used for orientation. So, in theory, you don't need one on the clutch as it is on a taper, and the taper takes the load and there is no need to orientate the clutch. The Alternator rotor has timing marks, and so ne...

eebtr7 modern brake fluid is not very hydroscopic (times have moved on since the 60's!), and seals on master cylinders last years if not decades.
