anyone know what the crank sensor tooth pattern is?

[MartinWoodham]

..for a standard K series 1600 ('04 car)? (and is a supersport any different?)

 

My copy of the Rover manual embedded in the Elise manual syas its 36 teeth with 4 missing, at TDC, 50, 180 and 270 BTDC (all No 1 cylinder) - does this sound right?

 

Thanks.....

Std. K-series and Supersport will be the same.

 

The pattern you've quoted isn't what's on my '97 K-series. As I understand it there have been 3 different flywheel patterns over the years on the K-series, early ones were 36 teeth, 2 missing, and then later came 2 different variants of 36 teeth with 4 missing. They are shown here (search for "ROVER MODE"). Mine is mode 2 of those listed, the one you've described sounds like mode 3. If you can shine a torch at the flywheel teeth where they're read by the crank sensor and turn the engine over slowly (e.g. with a socket on the front pulley bolt) with the plugs out then you should be able to count the teeth and see what the pattern is, though I'm pretty sure that all stock Caterham installations use mode 2.
