Anyone know what the M50 cam wheel is like?

[Jon K]

What's a cam wheel? I hope I am not the only one ignorant of this.

BTW, I must have missed your follow up on the bent timing chan guide pin you posted a while ago on a M50 engine. How did you fix it eventually?

Big metal hammer, a t-square, and about 3 mins.


There is a trigger that flies past the cam sensor in the valve cover area... it tells the ECU which cylinder is firing. There is some sort of trigger it may be only one lobe or something. My engine is over at the garage and I don't have time to swing by was just seeing if anyone knew.
