Default Update on crank sensor problems

Well it looks like my electrolyte will be going to Oklahoma about 2 hours away from Fort Smith I can't remember the name of the exact town for new bearings crank bearings and cam chest upgrade, since he has to pull everything out of the cam chest he said he didn't care if he put in the new cams or the old cams made absolutely no difference to him. I know that this is pretty shitty news but at least we caught it early enough before we heard the big boom and the engine grenaded. Thank God I've got friends who can call in favors to help me with this and from what he quoted us on the phone the price won't be that bad. I'd like to thank everybody who contributed to answering my questions and helping me through this problem, I really appreciate you all. I will probably lurk for a little while until I get my motorcycle back and continue to post. Once again thank you all it was really a godsend being able to come here and vent if I couldn't solve the problem.

I believe Old Fort HD is still there, sounds like friends are doing it.

Well, if your electrolyte is going to Oklahoma, I suggest you stock up on Plenty of Gatorade. Don't want to get dehydrated now.
