Crankshaft Sensor

  1. Loosen bolt on sensor pedestal and insert Position Sensor Adjuster (J-36179) into gap between sensor and interrupter on each side of ring. See Fig 1.
  2. Make sure interrupter is sandwiched between blades of adjuster and both blades are properly inserted into sensor slot. Tighten sensor while maintaining light pressure on sensor.
  3. A clearance of .025" (.64 mm) is required on either side of interrupter ring. Check clearance at 3 positions around outer interrupter ring (about 120 degrees apart). If interrupter ring contacts sensor at any point during harmonic balancer rotation, the interrupter ring is bent and must be replaced.
