Up until 2004 all LS engines had 24x crankshaft reluctor wheels.
The cam reluctor was machined into the camshaft and the 1x signal was read by a cam sensor in the valley at the back of the engine.
The camgear used therefore had no timing lumps and was held on by 3 bolts.

2005 LS2's also have 24x reluctor wheels.

Damn! Learn sumpin' new every day!

I guess I'll have to give myself a head space adjustment in the brain housing group!

Thanks, all, for the lesson.

You of all people should know, you never fire off a few rounds before checking proper head space, as you know it can blow up in your face.

Yep. Properly Chastised.

For punishment I'll tour the Battalion Area on the dog watch in Dress Blues, tennis shoes and a light coat of oil, shouting, "This is my rifle, This is my gun..."

(Gawd, how I miss it. But I'm 69 now and all things must pass...)

Semper Gumby,

People use the 58x reluctor to swap LS7's into C5's right? Is that the same for the LS2 and LS3 engines? I know nothing about this, or if Im even talking about anything real. Just hear little things here and there.
