Replaced A Cam Angle Sensor

[fib]

Hey guys,

I had a cam angle sensor with broken teeth on the rb26 and replaced it with another CAS. Apparently it's supposed to be timed with a timing light/mechanic. However I just wacked it on and the car has been running fine for the past few months.

What are the ill effects that I should look for from just randomly putting on a CAS?

Cheers!

if the timing is retarded then you will be losing power. if the timing is too advanced then it may be pinging and the end result will be a damaged engine requiring a rebuild. if the CAS was setup in pretty much the same location then it should be reasonably right, however i'd still put a timing light on it to be sure.
