RV* 4.6 Serpentine Trigger Wheel
Moderator: phpBB2 - Administrators
A sort of related question.
Just at the stage of aligning the trigger wheel and the question is what to do with the mud/splash guard that fits between the crankshaft pulley and the block - designed to keep course mud etc away from the front crankshaft oil seal.
Maybe not so important on a road going engine but my engine is going in a full on 4wd.
So how important is the mud deflection shield. It will be just a bit time consuming to modify it to fit the the shield to the back of the trigger wheel so if not really needed I would prefer not to.
Thanks

I seem to remember Ralph from a few years back who had a flywheel, standard one from a landis from memory, that had the trigger wheel built into it on the engine side
That would avoid the front dress problems and mud ingress

Now that you mention it, the 4.6 Landies should have that flywheel as standard fit.Ian Anderson wrote:I seem to remember Ralph from a few years back who had a flywheel, standard one from a landis from memory, that had the trigger wheel built into it on the engine side

I'd say that would be more work than fitting a trigger wheel to the crank pulley?DEVONMAN wrote:These manual flywheels are pretty rare because most were auto boxes.
But, it must some how be possible to mount the bits from a flexplate onto the back of a manual flywheel
On my SD1, I swapped the steering pump one which had the mud shield (or whatever) for a spare AC one which is the same but plain. That gave me room for a standard RV8 trigger wheel.

As I didn't have a 4.6 flywheel, crankshaft sensor and it is going EDIS 8 and MS3 it was cheaper and easier to go a trigger wheel.
You can take the little "trigger ring" off an auto ring gear/flex plate and rivet to any manual RV8 flywheel if you want to use an original crank sensor - the hardest bit is working out the positioning - still easier to put a trigger wheel on though.
