Crank position sensor

[P Rakoske]

Does anyone know what the spec is for the gap between the crank position sensor and the damper?How critical is this measurement?I had to remove mine to arrest a KDP and had to improvise a feeler guage from some pieces of plastic. (go/no go)

The engine fired up at the end of the job and seems to run fine.

I did have great difficulty installing the crank seal through the front of the cover. As a last resort I tried putting it in from the back using a small punch. It worked!!!!Oo. If this attempt failed I was going to take the cover and seal to my local Cummins shop to have them install the seal. Thanks again to all of you guys out there who contributed to the success of this job Although I don't post often,I read the posts often.

P. Rakoske: . 049 inch minimum to . 051 inch maximum. Be sure sensor is not near either of the notches on damper. This is out of a '96 manual and calls for a brass (nonmagnetic) feeler gauge. Ha! Who's got one of them? Not me. I can't remember if I measured this or not when I did the KDP tab fix... ... as long as it works, should be okay.

A business card or match book cover does the trick. Also, some one else suggested using a drill press to fit the seal. It worked just great for me using a wood block about the same size as the seating tool.

98's call for . 053 on the KDP fix, Nope I didn't use brass either but it works fine!
