If you are referring to the head gasket, that is how the are made so that not only do they seal the compression but the oil passage as well (on water cooled engines the water passage to)

First, buy a new pulley like Seaweednh said along with a new washer.  The new pulley will account for the greatest amount of wear (slack) in the fit up between your pulley and shaft splines.  Secondly, take out the rest of the slack with a product known as bearing mount.

Not all Loctite is created equal.  Here is a link to a product guide with some instructions.  http://www.loctite.ph/php/content_data/LT4680.pdf

You'll need a thread locker for the nut but a bearing mount product for the splines on the shaft.  Bearing mount is intended to fill gaps for radial loading and not the straight on hammering you get in a spline but it will fill in the gap and until it breaks down will prevent the hammering action of spline against spline.  I have seen bearing mount used very effectively in a number of similar situations.  But, to give it a decent chance of being a permanent repair, get that new pulley.
