Want this question answered?
Yes. You use feeler gauge to set gap between sensor and crankshaft pully( .020 to .053)
you may have to install the sensor positioned up and down and then rotate the sensor clockwise to align the bolt holes. The insides of the engine part are spring loaded and sometimes the sensor needs to be position on flat then rotated some way to line up the holes.
My timing belt slipped on my 1990 tyota 4runner 3.0. The crankshaft mark and camshaft marks do not align. Should i keep the crankshaft aligned and then align the camshaft marks?.
The sensor is a "hall effect" sensor, to align it; just match timing marks on cam sprocket to mark on crank sprocket (so they are as close as possible).
Not sure what align means, they only bolt on one way.
It should be in the front of the engine as part of the front cover, it will have a 3 wire connector. Understand that if you remove, replace this part you will have to re-align it to the proper timing mark on the crankshaft dampner. TommyTrouble
Remove the drive belts, crankshaft pulley, and timing covers. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft and r+r the belt
Align the piston number 1 (in firing order) at its bottom most position.
align the crankshaft pulley mark with mark on oil pump housing, and align marks on cam gears with marks on rear cover, then install timing belt.
You are changing the timing belt and you need o know where the timing marks are for the cam shaft and the crankshaft on a 1994 corolla Also how do you align the marks to put engine in time?
In order to do this properly, you need the correct tools as well as an owner's manual and a repair manual for diagrams that show the relevant parts and their names, ignition marks and so on. The manual is also necessary in order to understand some of the terms named here. You should prepare well for this job in order to avoid mistakes which could be serious. Procedure: The engine should be cold. Use the crankshaft pulley bolt to turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks on the crankshaft timing pulley and on the oil pump body. Remove any oil or water on the crankshaft timing pulley,idler pulley and water pump pulley, and keep them clean. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the drilled mark of the crankshaft timing pulley. Install the timing belt on the crankshaft timing pulley, also on idler and water pump pulleys. Crankshaft Position: Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
Align camshaft sprocket ( white dot ) with white arrow on top of back part of timing cover, and white dot on crankshaft sprocket with cast in timing mark on seal retainer ( aluminum casting below bolt at 12 oclock ) the key in the crankshaft will face up for tdc and align with timing mark.
