cam trigger wheel phase altered by degreeing cams?

[lifespeed]

Looks like it’s picking up on the adjuster bolts as well as the trigger

That is a good point, the bolts do look close enough to trigger the cam pos sensor. Hopefully Lowndex's hired gun puts a scope on the sensor output today.

Are the bolts stainless? If so, should be non magnetic depending on the grade used and unable to trigger the sensor.
Checking/ adjusting sensor height is a good idea. Seen a few bone stock vehicles which needed adjustment with replacement sensors.

The problem has been identified: picking up the adjuster bolt and gear tooth. The cam gear is from MMR and to their site shows a slightly different mount for the sensor. KC feels he has a simply solution and should be resolved quickly.

It's running without cam sensor codes now?

It must have been the large cam drive gear causing the problem since he got the MMR adjustable timing kit he linked in his post and no more issues.

Yes - code resolved

It was the bolts - they were too high causing false signals.

 

[Lowndex]

I wonder if you put a washer under the sensor to put it just out of reach of the bolts to test if that's the case. You should still get enough when the big bump passes under the coil to send a signal. It's an easy test anyway.

Sensor is fine; bolt length was the problem.

Yes, the bolts were and new ones are stainless steel.
