Always check the reluctor wheel even tho you have a brand new motor before putting everything together :/

Someone had dropped either the crank or the wheel when the motor was being built.





Lucky for me i was able to straighten it out and clean up the burrs .

Hopefully everything is in good working order now .

3 months and over 3k spent trying to figure out this problem only to find this .

Damn that sucks! What were the symptoms? And was the engine purhased as an assembly or did you build it?

2nd that. Who built that motor?

The car would run fine as long as i didnt go wot , then the car would backfire through the exhaust and shut the car off and try to catch up to itself but couldnt .

Its the same basic symptom as a bad crank sensor .

Its a refreshed LQ9 i sent out to have rebuilt .

The Calies crank was sent out to be fixed (spun a bearing) so the crank went from Tampa to Orlando to Indiana and back to Florida so i cant point a finger at anyone and right now im just happy to have found the problem .

The quality of the motor build is excelent but i dont know how this could have been missed .

My buddy and i put the pan on it and didnt see it when we did the assembly and after putting the motor in the car and running it around for 3 months and spending all that time and money chasing the gremlins , it took me about 15 minutes to fix the wheel :/

Live and learn .

That was my problem all this time .

After straightening that tang out and putting it back together it roasted the tire off the car and pulls hard through the power band now .

Just had a burnout party in the parking lot
