Crank walk and crank sensor damage

[missionstreet]

So after pulling my CKPS after finding no signal at the distributor, I see it has worn down a little over time. I also notice a more recent fresh nick on the sensor. Also some oil in the receptacle. Are there shims to accommodate for Crank walk (at 150k) if this is an issue?

Just checking. What have you found?

I am not familiar with Nissan engines, but with domestic engines, excessive axial clearance/crank walk, is set by the Thrust bearing. It is one of the Main bearings supporting the crankshaft, but has material on its sides which limits movement of the crankshaft
