    Default Can someone verify this layout of the 4x cam trigger wheel?

    Here is a quick sketch of a 4x trigger. Can someone verify that the angles are correct for each of the "teeth"?

    I dont have a 4x wheel on hand to verify an I'd hate to disassemble the front of my LY6 to verify

    Thanks!
    David

    Probably best to purchase a 4x cam sprocket, and verify first hand that your CAD type depiction is accurate.

    GM part # 12586481 is a 4x Gen III / Gen IV cam sprocket (3 bolt design). Price ranges from $18 to $30 depending on the source - small price to pay for accuracy.

    Your diag looks fine. The reluctor shapes as you can see are pretty right and follow the radial line from the centre.

    tunedportcj5,
    I saved and printed your sketch and noticed that there are 'flats' on each segment of the wheel. Are there supposed to be 'flats' or is it supposed to be a smooth curve?
    Also, how did you come up with the difference between the major and minor diameters?
    I'm asking out of ignorance.
    Thanks,
    JP
