Where is the reluctor wheel on a LS engine?
The reluctor wheel (again, also called a timing wheel or tone wheel) is interference-fit onto the rear of the crankshaft, with no key or other registering device.
Where is the flywheel timing lock pin located, im?
Ensure timing marks aligned . NOTE: This may require up to 6 turns. Insert M8 x 1,25 bolt in injection pump sprocket . Slacken tensioner bolt . Move tensioner away from belt -Finger tighten bolt. Remove timing belt. Check tensioner pulley for smooth operation. Fit timing belt in clockwise direction, starting at crankshaft sprocket.
Can a tooth count wheel be installed on an LS block?
Either tooth-count wheel can be installed on any LS crank, as long as you have a controller designed for the specific tooth-count. Here’s a view of a 4.000” stroker crank positioned onto the block’s upper main bearings. Notice the reluctor wheel at the far right in this photo. (Image/Mike Mavrigian)
Where is the tone ring located on a GM LS engine?
A magnet sensor mounted stationary in the block is aligned to the wheel and picks up crankshaft position. GM LS engines feature a toothed reluctor wheel (also called a tone wheel or tone ring), which is press-fit onto the rear of the crankshaft. This toothed wheel is used by the crankshaft position sensor for ignition timing.

Is the reluctor wheel on the rear of the crank?
Most aftermarket crankshaft manufacturers sell LS cranks with the wheel already installed, but it’s possible that you bought a crank where the reluctor wheel is sold separately. This isn’t a simple matter of hammering the wheel onto the rear of the crank.
What’s the difference between OE and LS cranks?
Basically, the OE LS cranks are identical and will install in all LS blocks (variances exist in terms of stroke, and engines that were originally fitted with dry-sump oil systems will feature a longer snout).
