Hi all, this is my first post and while I don't consider myself a noob, I know there are plenty of more knowledgeable people out there.
I am finishing up an LM7 (Gen III 24x/1x) swap and my RPMs were all over the place. Eventually l looked in the sensor hole and found no cam "reluctor ring". It is just a machined surface, no highs or lows. What's going on here? I bought the engine as "refreshed" but no other details than that. Is this not a stock cam, is it installed incorrectly?
I know the only way to know for sure is open it up which I don't want to do at this time as I am almost finished and ready to drive/start tuning.
Running a Terminator X and the engine will start and idle with custom ignition, cam disabled, batch fire mode.
Can I just run it like this without doing any damage?
If you install a Gen IV front cover and a 1X timing gear, along with a harness extension, you'll be back in business. Get a plug for the rear sensor ( or just reinstall the sensor and leave it unplugged ).
