I got a 408ci motor built by Texas Speed a couple months ago, and I was out sunday night when it just turned off on me at WOT. I got to checking everything, and I went to replace the crank sensor checked the reluctor wheel and the one on the back was spinning freely??? Engine has a callies crank and im wondering if anybody else has had this problem? Engine only has about 4k miles on it so im hoping no other damage was done and that Texas speed will fix it.

yea who ever built the engine should have put a tack weld on the ring

Yea thats what my tuner told me that TSP should of tack welded. I have always had good buisness with TSP so im pretty sure they will fix the problem for me, im just hoping nothing else was damaged.

LME makes a one piece billet reluctor wheel. Might want to see if you can get that installed.

the problems started when gm changed suppliers awhile ago.


on that note. I have to find TDC and check mine tomorrow. Pretty sure mine spun on the crank

Does the engine have to come out to replace the reluctor wheel?

What does that job entail?

Wish I would have known about this tack weld thing before my 390 went together.....

That sucks.....

Oh well, hope mine stays intact. I was just curious.

Oh....my engine has not been installed yet, it goes in next week. Can I have this done just by spinning the crank with the oil pan off to just put the tack welds on it in a few spots????

Or does it need to be sitting on a bench totally out of the engine?

they usually separate . those dimples are where they are fused together. tack the two sides together. but now i have heard rumors(see if this is the case with mine) that they are spinning on some cranks too, so they are tacking them to the crank also

Mine was "coming apart" and I got some weird timing issue while on spray and it hurt a couple pistons in my motor.

now its got a callies billet relutctor(200 bucks), fresh bearings, new rings and 2 new pistons LOL

I didn't know that Callie's made a billet reluctor wheel.

callies and LME i believe.

found TDC on mine today . installed a timing pointer and locked timing at 40*. read about 20* on the timing light.
looks like mine spun and/or is coming apart.

nothing happened to the motor, that happened to me on a stock shortblock ls1. all it does is make the computer go stupid and shuts the engine off.
