crank position sensor help
#12
well after a nights sleep and a new sensor in hand I crawled back under her and installed the sensor. I tuned the crank to make sure I was in the clear and realized I'm missing 2 teeth. Looks like the engine is coming back out. Or its being sold, have not decided what I'm going to do at this point.

Sure that's not the gap to time the motor? ""The reluctor ring has a set tooth pattern, 60 teeth are spaced at 6° intervals and are 3° wide, two teeth are removed to provide a reference mark at 60° BTDC for number 1 cylinder".
There should be only one "gap of two tabs" on the reluctor ring. If you have tabs missing anywhere else on the ring then it's a problem. Maybe one more night of rest is all you need eh.

There are two spots with missing tabs and the ring. My question is I could put a 4.6 crank in and still use my same flywheel right? So would a 4.6 flywheel and reluctor ring work with my truck? If so I may consider keeping her and replacing the parts. The bummer is I just had it out. I guess I'm not that smart after all.

I received my "new" engine from Paul a few weeks ago and with 100k on the clock and lots of thinking i did a complete rebuild. I will say it was very clean on the inside and had new head gaskets, at the mileage and the fact it was already out why not.
The new engien did not come with a fly wheel so i reused mine. I finnished everything up and went to fire her up and it was ugly. low RPM's knocking and spitting then she shut down and would not fire back up. After poking around i removed the Crank position sensor that came with the engien and this is what it looked like.
I did have the spacer ring installed:
What could be my issue, Ideas to correct this?

Ok update to this issue:
I got a new flywheel from Paul and pulled the engien out for the third time and installed all the right parts. And she is up and running for a month now!!!
Bottom line is that i have gotten real good with pulling and installing this engien and glad I did not sell her.
And yes the spacer ring was out of an manual and I have an auto so that's what messed it all up.

There were many days I tossed the tools down and said I'm done, but after a few days of not working on it I get lost and just happen to wonder back to it. I may be sick in the head but I find it to be therapy. I get so tied up in my job and stress just would get to me, but turning bolts just put me to ease.
Thank you all for your help.
