neil.cavanagh Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have a '04 (I think) VVC Trophy engine that I have converted to solid cams. The engine was missing all the sensors in the head when I acqured it, whic was fine as I dont' need them. However there is a large hole in the head where one of the sensors would fit that I need to blank off properly. The sensor is oil temperature I think and is on the right side (inlet) of the head and is towards the rear of the egnine. I current have a sensor in the hole to fill it, but I need to return this to it's rightful owner. The sensor is held in with one bolt only, and the hole is sunk, which means you can't make up a simple blanking plate. Does anyone have either a spare (dead?) sender I could use to fill the hole, or know of a source for suitable blanking plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilyhands Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have some spare sensors, or you could make a small blanking plate from a piece of ally. It's where the cam phase sensor goes, it feeds back duration information to the ECU. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Martin, I have the piper VVC blanking kit, but this didn't include a bit for this sensor hole. I've noticed that in VHPD (R400 at least...) whilst the head has the casting for where the sensor mounts, the hole is still metal as I guess they don't machine it out. OIly, If you have a spare sensor, (it doesn't have to be a working one), that might be best. Drop me a blatmail with how much it will be and where to post the cheque! thanks!!
