thank you for your response daveJHM. my answer to your question is yes and yes. its like there are 2 rotating pulley cascade together. the internal pulley rotates but the external pulley does not. thats how i can best describe it by looking at the engine while it is in idle.
If I am not misaken, it's the pulley itself that requires replacement. It should be a dampner assembly - that is, connected by rubber to dampen engine vibration. The rubber may have torn, causing the pulley separation.
if i am going to buy this part, how do you call this part? crank shaft pulley assembly?

Pretty much, but I would probably defer to a dealer part, just for overall part quality, longevity and fitment for something like that.
