It will be coming out......the reason i ask is because on a factory set up the hole is very big, and that adapter plate bolts in, then the sensor goes into that, i wonder if anyone has done it any other way, but then i should imagine its tricky getting the clearance right.

Hmmm, problem is the engine isn't being stripped down its only done 3.5k on a re-build. So its not going to be easy getting a whole engine on a milling machine surely?

A drill that has an electromagnetic base. You can switch it on, and it will hold itself to the end of your block, allowing you to drill at a perfect 90degrees.

a decent milling machine will easily fit the engine on it
the one ive got waiting to do is a short block with sump on still
i think its a 30mm bore and a seperate m6 hole

What a load of waffle mate.. Who told you that you have to drop the engine..
It make it so easy to change a belt that you dont even need to take the bottom pulley off Nothing to do with droping the engine...

Well you haven't answered the question i asked you yet. Using a sierra bottom pulley (which is what i asked you and you didnt reply to) you HAVE to drop the engine.
Maybe im just lost without the pretty pictures.

Well i'm sure where theres a will theres a way like anything but i don't fancy pinching the belt forcing it through a small gap. I didn't think the pulley would allow a good clearance?

Ah ok I was looking at the block again yesterday and its only about 4mm thick isn't it? Is the material very hard to drill through?

Where do you mount the sensor in this case?
