I'm looking for the air gap between the OEM crank trigger plate and the crank position sensor. I only need it on the front side. I couldn't find anything in the manual or online. I wonder if someone has easy access and can check with a feeler gauge.
I assume this is for a custom project, as it is not adjustable. Either way splitting the diff should be just fine. You're just breaking the contact between inner and outer portions anyway.

It sure is. I'm using a 12 tooth triggers. Currently it's suggesting that I need to space it out .020 I was more or less curious what stock was and if anyone could measure it for me.
It's not exactly easy to get to. Have to take the timing cover off like you're replacing the belt.
Like what the other guy said, I'm not sure it's important as long as it's not touching either side.
Thanks You!
No one needs to pull off a timing cover. I was more or less wondering if someone had one sitting on an engine stand and could quickly verify this. No need to go out of your way to do this for me.
It doesn't actually HAVE a spec.
The crank has a spec for end float and any end float will change the sensor clearance up to the point where you get crank walk (too much crank end float), you'll destroy the sensor
I do appreciate the help and I'm sorry if I haven't been clear.
I'm using a 12 tooth trigger disc with one less tooth. This will be using the OEM crank sensor and AEM Infinity series ECU.
I asked the gap question because I was curious if the position of the trigger plate could promote a cleaner signal. Example: If the plate was closer to front of the sensor the resolution might be better. That's why I asked the question in regards to the gap on the OEM setup.
In the case of the stock sensor design, the field is interrupted when the trigger tab passes through the sensor. Therefore, moving it one way or another(ie changing the gap) will have no effect on it.
