[s-cars] dent in G4 crankshaft position sensor

[brian hoeft]

Varon, I work with an extremely skilled welder/fabricator that could do
this if he HAD to, but wouldn't encourage it myself. Besides, a TIG welder
isn't cheap and your next clutch job is going to be more of a headache. You
don't have to pull the plugs to turn the engine by hand, just not as easy
with compression. If debris is your culprit, I would really want to know
what it was if I were you or there could be another problem brewing, like a
pilot or T/O bearing..
