beams 3SGE crank angle sensor wheel broken. :(

Postby RomanV » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:51 pm

I got some replacement coilpacks, my motor running 8)

But then had to pull cambelt off again to fix a leak from the oilpump area, put it back together and noticed that there's a tooth broken off the crank angle sensor wheel. :?

Put it back together, now it wont start again, so obviously it wasnt damaged prior to this.

Would it be possible to tig weld this back on at all, or somehow make a replacement tooth?
It's cast steel by the looks. :cry: It's obviously not particularly structural, just a bit of metal that's gotta fly past a magnet. but if it's flying around at 8000rpm I guess it's gotta be stuck on fairly well.

I have less than no money right now, would otherwise head straight to a wrecker for another one, but I'm stupidly poor.

A quick check on the EPC shows that it's the same part number as an Altezza one, anyone got a spare one for sale? :cry:
