What was the original use for the large hole on the flywheel side of the right (passenger) engine case?
Looks like it could have been a good flywheel lock location. To me it looks like very good spot for a crankshaft position sensor... What was its original reason for being there? |

Just to be the devils advocate. Why not just get a crank trigger wheel set-up?
Using the flywheel to be a makeshift 6 tooth trigger wheel just doesnt seem worth it. Not saying that it wont work, plenty of 4 cylinder engines use a 4-1 wheel, but if your going through the effort why not do it correctly? A simple 12-1 trigger wheel will take full advantage of the MS3. Better resolution and if the cam sensor ever decides to fail you can use the missing tooth set-up and run Batch Fire mode and still have a working car. |
