[V8] Wonderful Dead V8

[Ron Wainwright]

Not to concern you Dave... bit I'd be worried. Did the sensor hit the pin while the car was idle... or while the car was trying to crank?
 I'd use 10 min to yank those sensors again & manualy crank over the motor till the pins are visable through the opening & see if you @ least bent it.
