might be a wiring issue.... possibly a bad solder joint, might want to tear into the harness and take a peak.

[S13 240SX]

uhh wiring.. no not really. LOLcuz i didn't do the wiring when i installed the engine i had a guy from a local rb swap shop come to my house that i paied him to do the wiring for me.

so me touching the wiring is a big no. lol cuz i'll screw it up.

and all i'm looking for is an acutal photo taken from off an engine of the cam and exhaust key way marks so i know what they look like so i can tear mine apart to see if my key ways are fine and not broken.

Are you using your upper timing cover or are the timing belt and gears exposed? If you are not using the upper timing cover you gotta make sure to shim the CAS.

If no one finds a pic, I'll take one tomorrow night when I pull my engine.

[S13 240SX]

no i am not using upper cover the upper cover is off at the moment... what ya mean shim the CAS?

ok and please post pics for me if we don't get any pics posted by then. thank you.

[gawdzilla]

the upper timing cover helps space the CAS away from the cam gears. you might need to add some small washers if you're not running the upper timing cover to keep the CAS from grinding against the cam gears

i took mine out yesterday, cause im painting the timing cover, and when i get home ill take a pic for ya

[S13 240SX]

ok thanks I'll check back later tonight to look for a pic... i really hope it helps me to get my car running then.

[Cameron]

dangit dude, this morning when i looked at it i was tired and paid no attention to what motor it was for... im sorry i didnt realize it was for an rb20, all i can do for ya is what an RB25 would look like... sorry man..

[S13 240SX]

thats fine.. rb25 is okay if u only have that.... i'm sure its the same setup as an rb20..

if u have a pic of a 25 is okay i'm sure its the same.

[Cameron]

yeah, i was thinkin that also, just wasnt positive. but lemme grab the camera ill be right back.. so basically what you want is to see what the keyway in the back side of the CAS and the inside of the exhaust cam is supposed to look like correct?

[S13 240SX]

yep thats what I want to see and look for.. thank you i'll check back later tonight for the pic. .. thanks man!

[Cameron]

heres the best pics i could get.. camera wont focus good on close up stuff.... -.-..... hope it helps.



really hope it helped.

[S13 240SX]

pics helped but still no luck.. I think my replacemnt cam angle sensor is dead.

car cranks funny, plus car cranks like it has a dead battery but it does not have a dead battery

[Cameron]

is your timing off??? i know that factory degrees for the CAS is like 15 degrees or somethin...

[S13 240SX]

yes it is 15 degress but the thing is...

How do you set timing or even check it,,.. if car wont start or spark due to bad cam angle sensor or something?

[Cameron]

wow man, it sounds like your SOL, hmmmm.... maybe find someone in your area that wouldnt mind you borrowing there CAS maybe? im sorry...

If you are not running the upper timing cover, you definitely need to put some small washers between the CAS and CAS bracket.

Do this when you install another CAS. Hopefully it will keep you from eating another one. This will likely solve your clicking issue. Well, I hope so.

so your saying the 3 bolts 10mm.. take them out and add some more washer to them? k i'll try it.

i'm gonna try to see if I can get it to start again today
