Moving forward, I have a question on the orientation of the flywheel and where I should have the "window" positioned for the crank position sensor. I have the lock pin installed, so the crank is definitely fixed at a known lock point. That said, when I took off the original CPS ring from the auto, it was in a different position then where I believe that it should be now. I'm 99.9% sure that I had the lock pin in for the marking (no reason to mark if not locked!) and removal of the auto tone ring as my neck twitched for a week after getting those old crank bolts out! Basically, since I picked up the parts from Jolio, it had been previously installed on a running project. With that, I can see a shadow of where the flywheel was aligned on the crank with the one extra offset hole on the end of the crankshaft that is at about 10 o'clock in the locked position. If I look at my old pics and check my alignment sharpie marks that I put on there when removing the auto box, the window is up just slightly above or aligned to the top starter bolt hole (about 2 o'clock). If I align the new flywheel to the shadow dot on the mating surface to match the offset hole on the crank, it is further down and closer to 4 o'clock. That said, at this position, it is 180 degrees or thereabouts from the CPS. Any thoughts here before I move forward? Anxious to get this locked down and checked off of the list!
Note CPS ring window from the auto at about 2:00 near the top starter bolt hole....
And now with the flywheel installed and the CPS window at about 4:00 near the lower starter bolt hole and aligned with the shadow dot from PO's installation (180 degrees from CPS)....
CPS window where my finger is...
Any thoughts, comments, and insight welcomed, thanks!
