CAS Help

[604CruisinCroat]

I don't like being a nuissance but I searched and found limited help.

If somebody can give me the basics on how to switch out a cam angle sensor?

You have two 12mm bolts. I could recommend a paint pen. Mark which position the old CAS was in. When installing the new one there is a locator pin. If you install it and the car wont start youve got it rotated 180* out. Simply remove it and rotate it 180* and it should fire up.

If you dont have access to a timing light and know how to set base timing I would strongly recommend marking the new CAS in relation to the one being removed as not to affect your base timing.


Good Luck

Just as easy as rush says it is. BUt even if you mark the CAS position there's a 97% chance that the timing is still going to be a few degrees of because of tolerances between different CAS's. So i would STRONGLY suggest putting a timing light on the car even if you have to borrow or rent one just so you know you're timing is not too advanced or robbing power from being retarded.

But just as rush said,only 2 bolts hold it on, but i recomend bringing the motor to TDC (or 0* on the timing mark) pop it off, align the new CAS's punch mark with the mark on the CAS case and re-install, it's really that simple, then put a timing light on it and do the final tightening of the CAS

How to make sure the CAS isn't 180* out.
