Camshaft Position Sensor / Crank Angle Sensor

[gwin]

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone knew, generally for nissans, what the metal pieces are called that goes inside the CAS. At the top of the picture there are grooves, there's something that sits inside those grooves. Reason i ask is, whatever was there is broken into 2 pieces but the car still runs fine. Some doofus before me must have done something and destroyed it.

Ignore the Yellow drawing, I ripped it from another site.

Thanks

Most likely the locator half moon key.. does the exhaust camshaft still have the key on it, or is only the CAS' key broken?

Hi Moodles,

Both have broke, half moon key, ah! Thanks for that.

Wouldn't happen to know if it's important?

I'll google from there on. Cheers mate
