Flywheel Sync Pin

When I ordered the 034 flywheel there was some concern over whether or not the pin that triggers the VR sensor would be in the correct place for use with the VEMS system.  To me it sounds like the VEMS ecu requires the pin to be more precisely located than the stock ecu requires.  The failure mode is basically a non start condition.  The computer requires the Camsync and VR reference pin to both be seen at specific locations before the motor will start.  Marc at EFIExpress educated me on how to check if your pin will be close enough, so I'll pass this on to you guys.  This is simple enough if I understood it correctly.

Below you are looking at the camsync hall sensor (the flashlight is shining on it).  It's easy to find, just follow the wiring.  We are concerned with the dark area behind it, which is a cutout in the perimeter of the disk behind the cam sprocket.




Below you are looking at the left most sensor (it is pointed between the flywheel and block, not at the starter teeth).  This sensor is the one that the pin will pass by.  Roll your motor over clockwise like it was running.  When the pin is centered on the VR sensor go to the front and check the placement of the window behind the camsync sensor.  If your sensor is in the window your golden, if its about 180 degrees off give the motor another full revolution and recheck, if its not 180 degrees out but not in the window either then your pin is in the wrong location (you'll have to correct this before the motor will start).
