Lmao no we ain't 😂😂

so.... I had a thought. Wish I could say it was brought on by alcohol: but ya boi has been sober almost 2yrs now

I have a 24x crank and a 58x crank here. I don't need to rent the tool to get numbers, I have the numbers here already!

gonna get on McMaster later to look at tubing with a close ID. Hopefully undersize so I can bore it to fit the crank main boss OD. Do some trig, weld some tabs

$60 plus labor instead of $300 lmao

 

How To: Change reluctor wheel 24x <--> 58x | LS1GTO Forums
?

 

Yeah, Ive read that and about 400 other reluctor wheel threads and others with ppl who have LS's firing on *not* all 8

So the thing is... I am a perfectionist AF, and I have 0 confidence in this wheel being indexed correctly. I am already 98% certain its on 180° wrong anyway, so while that thread is great for anyone who doesn't have access to the tools I do, and only have a scribe- Im gonna make a tool that indexes it correctly. Tired of ******* around with it

Pulling a motor in a C5 once is bad enough. Twice? shoot me. 3x? burn this ******

 

I have a 3d printer, i am not competent with solid works, but if someone drew it up I'd print them up

 

What file type do you need? STL?

3D printing would be great for concept, but the install procedure says to heat this thing to 450°F for install, and unless we can print out of PEEK, we aren't gonna have any plastics that can handle that temp

 

Wretched let me log into your solid works pls. I know how to do it but I only have the cheap free garbage tier software.

 

My solid works is a bit *cracked* lol

.stl would be perfect.

And only the reluctor wheel has to be heated up, right? A little metal spacer to keep the plastic off the wheel would be fine

 

only the wheel gets heated, so a stainless spacer would work well to protect the plastic. Do you print ABS or PLA? or some other "alloy"?

SolidWorks has a $10/mo hobby license, but it doesn't work with Windows 11 yet. I have SW '08 on my college machine, with some work-arounds. That's how I'll draw everything up.

 

Where do you live?
What's wrong with the wheel on your motor or are you just upgrading to a billet wheel?

 

I've only tried PLA but I wouldn't be opposed to trying this in another material
