Phase/revolution/ TDC sensor

[stewgnu]

Ok, unbolted and cleaned up all around.  There was some old grey sealant of some kind smeared here and there.

I've replaced it for now and I'll take her for a quick spin to see what occurs.

If it leaks I'll introduce a bit of fresh sealant.

If it still leaks I'll replace the o-ring.

I have to wonder why gstallions recommended to replace the sensor- a new sensor is unlikely to be supplied with a fresh o-ring so would not the problem remain?

I have to assume the sensor is functioning fine as the bike runs well.

 

edit: heh! it's pissing out, on to stage 2!

Some folks have had leaking from the sensor itself, is what Gstallions was saying. Fresh o-ring and some "hylomar" is what has kept mine dry for a while now.

yep, just added a smear o hylomar, lets see how she behaves tomo.

Pretty sure at the mo that it's the seal that's the problem and not the sensor.

The #112 O-ring is so often played up, and so cheap and easy.

New o-ring done the trick.  For other UK riders, Halfords sell this packet of o-rings:

 

The 2 smallest of which are a good match for the sensor ring.  Costs two quid.

Is that company owned by Rob Halford? Most curious that he would get into the O Ring business.

Yes, he saw a niche in the market of auto parts/ice in the nineties and my word did he exploit it!

Are we talking about Judas Priest's vocalist Rob Halford? Like the best metal singer of all time!?!?!?

I did not know he had an auto parts chain.....
