He did not do the install, a local performance shop did. Another problem DesertEagle was having was a sever oil leak from the cam seals by the rear corner of the valve cover. Could the oil leak in that area cause his cam sensor to go bad? The car has less then 18k miles on it.

If the cam sensor housing is filled with oil the sensor may not function correctly (seen it happen once). The sensor may be dirty or have metal shavings stuck to it. Or it coulf just be bad. It sounds like a shotty install that was done without new cam seals. Take it back and make them do it right.

Sorry to bring back an old thread. So the fix to the CAS housing filling up with oil is to take off the housing and reinstall it using less sealant (with the valvecover and bearing #6 off)? I just installed some cams and I'm having idle/drivability issues. When I checked the CAS trigger by taking off the 3 bolts, a ton of oil came out.
What idle/drivability problems did you guys experience with the CAS housing full of oil? Will it cause the car to run lean? Mine was running 20-ish AFR and was almost impossible to drive.
Thanks in advance.

is it wrong for oil to be in there?
back from the dead, but I'm seeing oil in the area of the pick up for the cam sensor. is this not right?? I'm having starting problems.

I am tracing an oil leak around the exhaust cam sensor and removed the sensor and ground to clean up the leak. I do see that the housing is filled with oil looking from the removed hole of the sensor.
Appreciate advise on whether the inside of the housing is supposed to be filled with oil? Sightly lubricated? Or bone dry?
