Resolved 2g Camshaft Sensor Positioning Cylinder Install

[lars y]

hey
im installing the cam angle sensor but i dont know which way to put it, it can go either way 180 degrees, and the two 'fins' on the rotating part has different sizes.

I searched and read (if i didnt misunderstand) that theres supposed to be an indent on the fin and on the housing, but i cant see any indents or marks at all.

The engine is now at TDC.

Thanks

Thanks for the response fellas I didn’t think to put at tdc before removal. The threads stripped out on the sensor portion. I don’t really see paint mark could this be it sorry don’t have the part right in front of me. Also if yo dowel pins on the cam gears point up, it’s at tdc correct!

If you look at the link/pictures above and also look at the unit in your hand, you'll notice that the two tall, outer sections are actually different lengths (the one at the top of your picture is shorter than the one at the bottom). If you compare it to the pictures above, you'll notice the paint mark is on the left side of the short section. I'd clean up your part as best as possible and put a new paint mark on it for future reference.
